Abstract
The applications of natural fiber composites have enormously increased due to the high availability, eco-friendly nature and practical applications of the composites. In this review different fiber combinations using natural fiber and synthetic fibers have been investigated and found with interesting results. The hybrid nature of fiber reinforcement adds to the mechanical properties of polymer-based composites. The hybridization using more than one fiber reduces the surface deformations in the polymer matrix and enhanced the bonding ability of polymer composites. The alkali treatment was the effective surface treatment process for improving the cellulosic nature with good crystalline nature, good bonding ability with the polymer matrix, this adds to the properties of polymer-based composites. The crystallinity index of 43-68 % were observed in surface treated natural fibers.
Keywords
