Study on characterization of mechanical, thermal properties, machinability and biodegradability of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites and its Applications, recent developments and future potentials: A comprehensive review

The development of unique different materials to current traditional alloys, metals and artificial materials has been a hot topic in recent academic and industrial research activity around the world. Industries are paying more attention to earning carbon credits by reducing pollutants in the atmosphere. Using natural resources to create fully biodegradable or partially biodegradable composite materials is one little step toward preserving the environment around us. Interior housing, automotive, marine, residential, and other applications can all benefit from such prepared alternative materials. Composites constructed with appropriate natural fibres as reinforcements are one option that ensures such a reality because they are highly appreciated in a variety of engineering specialties. Natural fibre composites can be effectively modified for non-structural, moderate load bearing interior applications, according to results published from diverse research platforms. In addition, the few flaws in natural fibres can be solved by morphological alterations caused by different chemical or physical behavior procedures. The general goal of this study is to afford a complete analysis of natural fiber composites property characteristics. Copyright (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
