Natural fibre-polymer composites

Satyanarayana, K.G. / Sukumaran, K. / Mukherjee, P.S. / Pavithran, C. / Pillai, S.G.K.

AbstractThere is a growing interest in the development of new materials which enhance optimal utilization of natural resources, and particularly, of renewable resources. Natural fibres such as jute, coir and sisal belong to this category. This paper describes systematic work carried out so far on the structure-property relationship of these fibres including fracture modes. Attempts to incorporate them in polymers and characterization of these new composites, with and without subjecting them to environmental conditions, are reported. Problems arising out of processing of the composites and attempts made to minimize these problems are also described. Efforts to fabricate a few components and evaluation of their performance in actual use are presented. Suggestions for future work are also given.
