An overview: Natural fiber reinforced hybrid composites, chemical treatments and application areas

Application of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites (NFPC) in transportation diligences has become inexorable due to light weight, superior properties, less cost of production and suitability to many products. But the main disadvantages of employing these fibers are their poor dimensional stability and high hydrophilic nature. Interfacial bonding between the fiber and matrix plays a vital role in deciding the mechanical characteristics of...
