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 increasing demand for eco-friendly materials and technology has made the industry focus on bio-compatible composites. This made the researchers explore the potential of eco-friendly, bio-degradable, and inexpensive banana fibre for automotive applications. This work reports the preparation and testing of banana fibre natural hybrid composite fibres randomly oriented with and without adding silica filler (5–15 wt.%) through a hand lay-up process. The mechanical properties such as tensile modulus, flexural modulus, hardness, impact strength, and water absorption capacity were measured. Composite specimens having a fibre length of 30 mm (15 wt.% of silica) exhibited better mechanical properties. The hardness, tensile, flexural, and impact strength measured were 46.74 HV, 54.71 MPa, 127.94 MPa, and 15.19 kJ/m2. The results showed significant improvement in mechanical properties in silica-reinforced hybrid composite compared to composites without silica filler. The wt.% of banana fibre increases, and the number of free hydroxyls (-OH) groups increases in cellulose, increasing moisture absorption. The pattern in which the composite absorbs the moisture at room temperature is called “Fickian behaviour.” Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterisation studied the interaction between fibre matrix and the distribution of silica reinforcement. This research concludes that bio-composites that exhibit improved mechanical properties are eco-friendly and are found to be suitable for automotive applications that meet present-day requirements.

“…From all the major investigations, it is found that the 40 wt% FRCs exhibit enhanced mechanical properties. [22][23][24][25][26] Thus, it gives a clear-cut view of combining the nanofiller with the polymer for improving the performance of the developed composites. So, the current research was undertaken to assess the impact of Acacia concinna seed powder (ACSP) and Vachellia nilotica seed powder (VNSP) on the physical, mechanical, and water absorption properties of developed short Turkish hemp (STH) fiber composites.…”

The study intends to examine the physical, mechanical, and moisture (water) absorption properties of Acacia concinna seed powder (ACSP) and Vachellia nilotica seed powder (VNSP) individually incorporated with short Turkish hemp (STH) natural fiber–reinforced composites (NFRCs) hybridized with epoxy matrix. ACSP and VNSP of size 30–40 nm were amalgamated with epoxy matrix in varying weight proportions (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt%), and the composite laminates were stacked manually followed by hydraulic compression molding. The fabricated NFRC nano-filled samples were tested for their density and void content, tensile, compression, flexural, and impact strengths along with hardness and water absorption characteristics. The incorporation of 7.5% ACSP and VNSP improved physicomechanical properties viz., 15.27% and 16.64% increase in the tensile strength, 16.39% and 16.41% increase in the flexural strength, 20.15% and 20.19% increase in the impact strength, 11.38% and 11.41% increase in the compressive strength, as well as 15.17% and 15.21% increase in the hardness, compared to non-filler composites. On the basis of the results acquired from various compositions of ACSP and VNSP, STH-based NFRCs were fabricated with the best proportion (7.5 wt%) of both the seed powders, and their physiomechanical properties were determined. The composites were analyzed using an atomic force microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope to determine their suitability for diverse applications. Using scanning electron microscopy, we analyzed the bonding nature at the fiber/matrix interface. On the basis of the results obtained, it was found that the combination of ACSP and VNSP improved the performance of the fabricated STH-based NFRCs. In addition, these composites had a higher moisture resistance, which might have implications for marine and automobile structural applications.
