Growing interest in the development of natural fiber composites have been witnessed over a period of last decade which is attributed to low cost, availability, eco friendliness. The large scale production and use of natural fiber reinforced composites is limited due to degradation by micro organisms, water absorption, low strength. These issues are addressed by using various fiber modification techniques such as biological, physical or chemical modifications. This paper addresses the recent developments in surface modifications of the NFRP composites ( Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer). The various effects of such modifications have also been discussed.
