Abstract

Poor quality leads to poor efficiency. As the research progresses, the development in the sustainable material are also progresses. This change leads to enhancement in the efficiency of the product. Novel sustainable material is the need of the hour for the future development. Natural composite fits the best alternative to deal with environment problem. In the past decade natural fibers applications has been increasing as never before. These applications are aerospace, infrastructure, thermal etc. Metal like steel, aluminum, cast iron are some of the materials which have been dominating the industries before the introduction polymer composite. These metals have been dominating the market but for a long time but lacking in the environmental issues. Natural fibers have successfully filling that gap. Being biodegradable, it is nature friendly and easy to dispose off. Decreased weight, nature friendly and easy availability are the attractive characteristics that influences various industries towards natural fiber composite. The current segment deals with the various natural fiber composites and their applications in the industries.
