Natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) have gained limelight in many applications during the recent years, owing to their availability, as well as superior mechanical characteristics, cost‐effectiveness, biodegradability, and lightweight. A comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing methods, proeprties and characteristics of natural fibers pave way for begetting a wide spectrum of applications for the NFPCs in automobile, aerospace, electronics, and other engineering fields. The current review article is about natural fiber‐reinforced composites, the commonly used fabrication methods, including fiber pre‐treatments, and numerous intermediate steps added to achieve improved bonding, processability of these composites, their properties and application prospects. Various state‐of‐the‐art methods like additive manufacturing, vaccum bag molding, and autoclave has also been discussed. The mechanical properties obtained through various fiber reinforcements in accordance with process parameters has a substantial impact in the industrial applications of NFPCs. The tribological applications of NFPCs are becoming increasingly important in order to deal with the mechanical and chemical wear and tear during their service life in contact applications. Flammability behavior and biodegradability assessment of NFPCs are important for high‐temperature and outdoor environmental applications of these materials. The review also includes a comprehensive discussion about the trending applications and future prospects for NFPCs.

“…The review illuminated the role of innovative 3D printing techniques and fiber orientation in augmenting the mechanical robustness of the kenaf/PLA composites. Sathyaseelan et al, [18] used areca (A)/kenaf (K) fiber reinforced hybrid epoxy composite plates to investigate the ballistic impact performances and found that the pure Kenaf fiber composite plate KKKKK absorbed less impact energy than the pure AAAAA. This justifies that the natural fiber areca can alter its properties by reacting with the binding material.…”

The quest for sustainable and eco-friendly materials has led to a burgeoning interest in natural fibers as reinforcements in composite materials. Kenaf fiber, derived from the Hibiscus cannabinus plant, presents a promising avenue for enhancing the mechanical and energy absorption properties of composite tubes. This study focuses on the fabrication of composite tubes using a combination of kenaf fiber and epoxy resin. The composite tubes were then subjected to compressive testing to evaluate their energy absorption performances. The fabrication process involved the impregnation of kenaf fibre with epoxy resin, followed by winding and curing to form composite tubes. Different configurations of kenaf fiber content were utilized to investigate their impact on the structural integrity and energy absorption capabilities of the tubes. Compressive testing was conducted to assess the energy absorption behaviour under axial loading conditions. The results revealed that the incorporation of kenaf fiber significantly influenced the energy absorption capabilities of the composite tubes. Higher kenaf fiber content demonstrated improved energy absorption performance, showcasing the potential of kenaf fiber as an efficient energy-absorbing reinforcement. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the use of sustainable and renewable resources, such as kenaf fiber, in enhancing the mechanical and energy absorption properties of composite structures, thereby contributing to the development of eco-friendly and high-performance materials.

“…Despite the many advantages of natural fibers, they struggle to compete with synthetic fibers because of a few major drawbacks. Natural fibers have poor tensile strength and are prone to degradation because of their hygroscopic properties [17][18][19][20][21]. Many literature works have attempted to combine the properties of natural and synthetic fibers.…”

The hygroscopic properties of natural fibers tend to degrade the mechanical properties of composite materials. It is essential to investigate the influence of water absorption behavior on the mechanical properties of hybrid composite materials. In this study, hybrid laminate materials consisting of two different reinforcement materials, i.e., Kevlar fibers and jute fibers in the same layer, are considered. Hybrid laminates that have four different weaving patterns: plain weave, basket weave, twill weave, and the satin weave, are tested for their water absorption characteristics. The jute fiber is a naturally extracted fiber that is subjected to chemical treatment. A comparison of mechanical properties before and after treatment of the jute fibers is carried out. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness are tested. It is found that the mechanical properties improved after the treatment of the jute fibers. The twill weave pattern exhibited negligible defects compared to its counterparts. Chemical treatment of the jute fibers enabled less water being absorbed into the hybrid laminate materials. Mechanical properties improved after using chemically treated jute fibers as the reinforcement material in the hybrid laminate materials. It is concluded that the twill weave pattern and chemical treatment of the natural fibers improved the mechanical properties of the hybrid laminate materials.
