A Review on Developments in Manufacturing Process and Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Composites

From the last few decades, study of natural fiber composite materials has been gaining strong attention among researchers, scientists, and engineers. Natural are becoming good alternatives to conventional because their lightweight, high specific strength, low thermal expansion, eco-friendly, manufacturing cost, nonabrasive bio-degradable characteristics. It is proven that a great alternative synthetic in sector automobiles, railway, aerospace. Researchers developing various types fiber-reinforced composites by combining different such as jute, sisal, coir, hemp, abaca, bamboo, sugar can, kenaf, banana, etc. with polymers polypropylene, epoxy resin, matrix material. Based on application required mechanical properties, numerous fiber-based processes available injection molding, compression resin transfer hand lay-up, filament welding, pultrusion, autoclave additive manufacturing, The aim paper present developments obtained properties.
