A REVIEW ON NATURAL FIBER HYBRID COMPOSITES

In modern industries, the majority of the conventional materials have been replaced by Natural fiber composites due to its high strength to weight ratio, biodegradable, eco-friendly environment, etc. Moreover, natural fibers are easily available and it can be extracted from the trees. Also, it has good mechanical properties, high durability, and more corrosion resistance. Based on various literature surveys, natural fibers are a very good alternative for Engineering and Manufacturing industries. By keeping these reasons in mind, these paper reviews properties and mechanical characterization of some of natural fiber hybrid composites. A brief study has been carried out to acquire exposed and practical knowledge on the use of natural fibers such as banana, jute, sisal, hemp, flax, kenaf etc..
