Enhancement of impact toughness and damage behaviour of natural fibre reinforced composites and their hybrids through novel improvement techniques: A critical review

The importance of natural fibres over synthetic fibres have gained significant attention in the research area, due to their higher specific strength, stiffness, lightweight and inexpensive. Natural fibre composites used in various applications are often susceptible to moisture absorption and various critical loadings scenarios during their service life such as low-velocity impact damages which is a concern for structural and non-structural...
