Though synthetic fibres exhibit superior properties and performance compared to many natural fibres, the latter has still strong acceptance in many applications. Unconventional natural fibres are often explored due to their eco-friendliness and availability in many regions. Such fibres are often used in the low cost composites, technical applications such as ropes and cordages. Borassus flabellifer L fibres, the extracts from the coverings of toddy palm fruits of palmyrah palm trees, represent the naturally available cellulosic fibres with various unique properties compared to other natural cellulosic fibres. The structural aspects and physical properties show good potential for this fibre in future.
