Abstract
Natural fibers are preferred material for scientific community because of its unique advantages like sustainability, environment friendliness, low cost, easy availability, low density, and appreciable mechanical properties. Academicians and researchers are using them successfully as a reinforcing material in polymer composites as a replacement of synthetic fibers which create an issue for environment. Bagasse fiber, an agricultural waste of sugarcane crop is one of the most abundantly available natural fiber across the globe. Green composites developed from this novel fiber offer scope for scale-up and value addition. This article gives an insight on recent research trends about processing and characterization of bagasse-based composites. Different surface treatment methodologies, and fabrication techniques are discussed to increase the thermomechanical, morphological, acoustic, ageing, and chemical properties of sugarcane bagasse based composites. Diverse applications of bagasse fiber reinforced polymer composites are also compiled in the study.
