Аннотация

The use of natural fiber as reinforcement in polymeric composites for technical applications has been a research subject of scientists during last decade. Natural fibers have the advantages that they are renewable resources and have marketing appeal. Agriculture wastes can be used to prepare green composites. Consumption of plastics can also be reduced by using natural fiber reinforced composite. There is growing interest in the use of woven composites for structural applications. There is a great interest in the application of banana fiber as a substitute for synthetic fiber. This review gives pathway for designers on the specific application of green composites. A concise summary of the major attributes of biodegradable natural fibers are provided with their mechanical properties.   Keywords: Natural fiber, green composite, banana fiberCite this Article Vishal J.
