Abstract

Due to the environmental considerations, cost reduction, and high performance of engineering application, the demand of natural fibers is increasing day by day. Between these natural fibers, the rice husks have been extensively exploited. Therefore, this article overviews the used area of rice husk composites in terms of mechanical, electrical, thermal properties, and coupling agents. For good bonding, coupling agent such as titanate, silane, and zirconate can be used for enhanced mechanical properties. Application of RHPP composite is improving biodegradability, for automobile (interior parts, cabin lining, exterior parts, etc.), electrical (electrical connector, microwave containers, etc.), and food packaging.
