There are many types of natural fiber including hemp, flax, jute, wood fiber, rice husks, straw wheat, oats, bagasse, barley, grass reeds, banana oil palm empty fruit bunch, coir, sisal, cotton, kenaf, ramie, water pennywort, paper-mulberry, kapok, abaca, pineapple leaf fiber. The production in India is 13.5 million tons per annual. Banana forming generates more quantity biomass which goes as waste. above ground parts like pseudo-stem and peduncle the major source used a raw material industry for papers, tea bags, currency reinforced polymer composite. Natural an alternative resource to synthetic fibers well reinforcement composite materials manufacturing inexpensive, renewable environment friendly. have low cost, density durability compare but with help treatments, mechanical properties improved. In this paper, compared through their applications, use thus it concluded that provide better chemical composition properties.
