An Examination of Natural Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Composites' Mechanical Properties
Keywords:
Carbon, Natural Fiber, Polymer, BiodegradabilityAbstract
The growing "green" economy, which is built on energy efficiency, the use of renewable resources in
polymer goods, industrial methods that lower carbon emissions, and recyclable materials that limit waste,
will heavily rely on natural fibers. Natural fibers are a kind of renewable resource that has been replenished
for thousands of years by both human creativity and the natural world. Additionally, they absorb the same
quantity of carbon dioxide that they emit, making them carbon neutral. These fibers have a high specific
strength, are inexpensive, non-abrasive, entirely renewable, and biodegradable. These qualities have lately
made natural fibers appealing to scientists and researchers as a substitute for fiber-reinforced composites.
The history of natural fibers and their uses were outlined in this review study. Additionally, the various
qualities of natural fibers (such hemp, jute, bamboo, and sisal) and their uses as glass fiber substitutes
were covered in this study
