“…The environmental condition is another parameter that influences the wear performance of natural fiber composites. In order to understand the effect of moisture on wear characteristics of kenaf fiber composites, Singh et al 45 studied wear behavior in dry and wet contact conditions. Under wet conditions, the loss of wear in the composite was lower than in dry conditions.…”

Natural fiber composites' appealing properties have enabled their use in a wide range of engineering applications, including automotive and structural applications. Wear is a common issue in automotive and structural applications, increasing the likelihood of material failure. As a result, composites with increased wear resistance are required. Natural fiber composites have completely different wear properties than metals. Understanding the wear mechanism of natural fiber composites is critical for their potential use in a variety of applications. Wear is of different types, each with its own mechanism of material loss. Wear is determined by material properties, such as matrix and reinforcement properties. The critical factors influencing the wear performance of natural fiber composites are fiber loading, fiber orientation, fiber length, and fiber interface. This review attempted to investigate the different types of wear in fiber composites and their impact on natural fiber composites. This article could serve as a one‐stop shop for learning about the wear characteristics of natural fiber composites.
