Abstract
As the need for developing more eco-friendly materials surges, the shift from conventional materials toward natural fiber reinforced composite (NFCs) materials has been increasing steadily. NFCs received much significance, as natural fibers are existing in abundance. Further, being bio-degradable, renewable, and cost-effective goes in favor of NFCs. As a result, a wide range of natural fibers, such as banana, hemp, rice husk, etc., are extensively used in developing NFCs. Quality of NFCs largely depends on factors like the selection of an appropriate fiber, resin, and preparation method remains a challenge. Inappropriate selection of these factors may affect the quality NFCs. Hence, this study intends to provide a comprehensive review of these factors, which may assist in the appropriate selection. Properties of fibers, matrixes, fiber orientations, and the influence of chemical treatment, fillers and fabrications processes are detailed in this study.
