Abstract-Research has been going on in the field of development of green composites because of growing concern towards the environmental issues. Green composites have lot of potential than the traditional petroleum based composites which are toxic and non biodegradable. These composites have been used with wide range of applications from automotive sector to construction sector. A green composite consists of natural fibers as a reinforcement and polymer as a matrix material. This article gives the review of recent developments of green composites and the summary of main results presented in literature, with more focus on processing techniques, surface treatment of fibers, mechanical characterization and applications of green composite.

“…The mechanical properties of the composite filled with organic fillers are influenced by the parameters such as size of the filler, volume fraction, type of filler (chemical composition and shape) and distribution of the filler material [11].Several works have been carried out with natural filler materials in order to increase the mechanical properties of the composite. [12] Dhawan et.al. State that polyester-based composites with natural fillers provide improved results.…”

Sustainability of the natural fibers and its composite had created the curiosity among researchers around the globe. Owing to their improved mechanical and thermal properties, natural fiber based materials are replacing the synthetic fibers in most of the automobile, packing industries, sports equipment and semi-structural applications. In this research, the tensile properties of hybrid composite made up of Kenaf and areca fibers in six different stacking sequences with constant 10 weight percentage of wood dust as filler material is studied. Unsaturated polyester resin is used as the matrix. The specimens are prepared by using hand lay-up technique. The prepared specimens are tested for tensile properties as per ASTM Standard and compared with stacking sequence one (S1).The test results revealed that stacking sequence six (S6) of the specimen which has Kenaf fiber as top and bottom layers has about 155% increase in tensile strength.

“…These substances are electrical insulators. Composite materials results two or more substances are combined (physically) to create a new material with properties are superior in specific applications [4], these composite are classified to: metallic, ceramic and polymeric [3]. Polymers are good insulators, brittle and fractural materials and classified according to their properties to 1.…”

Electrical insulators in this research were made from reinforced epoxy with three kinds of fiberglass (wool, low surface density and high surface density). Samples made manually, resistivity, insulation voltage, tensile strength and bending test were done. The results showed that the highest tensile strength for reinforced epoxy with low surface density fiberglass was (195 N/mm 2 ), while highest bending stress was for reinforced epoxy with high surface density fiberglass (84 N/mm 2 ). Mechanical properties test was done for samples to ensure that they can be used as replacement of ceramic insulators (porcelain) which is used as insulators in transformer, cabins manufacturing and as electrical wiring's load which transmitter for electrical current. Reinforced epoxy with wool fiberglass has highest resistivity (28.4*10+1 Ω cm) and increasing in insulation voltage for reinforced epoxy with high surface density fiberglass (30 kv).
