An evaluation of polymer composites strengthened with natural fibres
Author(s): Dr. Lokesh ChandAbstract
The use of natural fibres into polymer composites has attracted considerable interest as a result of the increasing need for sustainable and environmentally friendly products. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in polymer composites that are strengthened by natural fibres. The main areas of attention are the mechanical characteristics of these composites the methods used in their manufacturing and their many applications. We provide a thorough examination of many categories of natural fibres such as flax jute hemp and bamboo and explore how they impact the performance attributes of polymer matrices including thermoplastics and thermosets. The review also emphasises the difficulties related to the adhesion between fibres and matrix the absorption of moisture and the long-term durability. Furthermore this study examines emerging patterns and prospective areas of research to improve the effectiveness and long-term viability of these composite materials. This study seeks to provide significant insights for academics engineers and producers in the area of advanced composite materials by combining existing information.
