Abstract

The recent research and development in the field of materials science and technology focuses attention towards the potential utilization of biodegradable materials in various applications. The development of ECO-FRIENDLY materials of any kind is necessary for new demands. The development of composite materials utilized to solve technological problems is one of the most significant advances in the field of materials science. Today, composite materials appear to be the choice for many engineering applications. Fibers in Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) can either synthetic/man-made fibers or natural fibers. Natural fibers have been attracting the interest to engineers, researchers, professionals and scientists all over the world as an alternative reinforcement for fiber reinforced polymer composites, because of its superior properties such as high specific strength, low weight, low cost, fairly good mechanical properties, non-abrasive, eco-friendly and bio-degradable characteristics. In this point of view, a brief review has been carried out to make use of natural fibers (such as abaca, banana, bamboo, cotton, coir, hemp, jute, pineapple, sisal etc) abundantly available in India. Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers are mixing with natural fibers to increase Engineering and Technology applications.
