At present, natural or lignocellulosic fiber-based bio composites are the talk of the town due to their low density, cost effective, eco-friendly, renewable properties. Bio fibers such as jute, kenaf, pineapple, sugarcane, flax, leaf, hemp, wool, silk etc obtained from plants or nature which can be utilized to obtain new high performance polymer composite materials. The physical and mechanical characteristics of these bio fibers (e.g., tensile properties, flexural stress-strain behaviour, fracture strength, impact strength) make them more sustainable and attractive than synthetic fibers with a remarkable biodegradable characteristic. The aim of this review is to give a thorough overview on natural fibers and natural fiber reinforced bio composite materials, their major physical and mechanical properties and potential applications.

Physio-mechanical properties and applications of natural fiber reinforced bio-composites
