A Review on Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Composites

The natural fiber reinforced composites are being used in various fields of applications that are contributing to the replacement of synthetic fibers composites which consists of Boron, glass fiber, carbon fiber etc.. The composite natural fibers are being used due its light weight, higher specific strength and eco friendly natural, non –abrasive which also have economical value. As they are made out of natural plants they can absorb an considerable amount Carbon dioxide which the surrounding produce. Thus the hybrid composites with different fibre lengths and reinforcements may contribute a better role than those of single fiber composites. This paper provides a review on the mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact strength) of natural fiber reinforced hybrid composites.
