This paper presents the recent developments in polymer matrix composites (PMC). Polymer-based composites are widely used materials since the materials have good mechanical properties with low density. Polymer-based materials are used for many applications such as the aerospace industry, automobile industry, sports equipment, construction, and packaging industries. Recently nature fibers have been used as reinforcement materials to synthesize PMCs effectively. Polymer-based materials have been used in biomedical applications. This paper displays the summaries of synthesis, microstructure, and properties of recently reported various PMCs.
