Polymers play a vital role in material science; they have been utilised for more than a century. Cosmetics, geotextiles, aircraft, and automobiles are just a few of the sectors that employ polypropylene. The addition of appropriate clay, can improve the mechanical and barrier characteristics of the material. This chapter deals with various types of fabrication as extrusion process by using twin screw extruder, solution blending method, melt-blending method, in-situ polymerization method, direct melt compounding, ultra sound-aided extrusion and master batch dilution. To characterize the polypropylene/clay nano composites by different property such as mechanical, thermal, tribological, optical, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, creep failure, hygrothermal, rheological and morphological.

Increasing global environmental problems and awareness towards the utilization of eco-friendly resources enhanced the progress of research towards the development of next-generation biodegradable and environmentally friendly material. The development of natural-based composite material has led to various advantages such as a reduction in greenhouse gases and carbon footprints. In spite of the various advantages obtained from green materials, there are also a few disadvantages, such as poor interfacial compatibility between the polymer matrix and natural reinforcements and the high hydrophilicity of composites due to the reinforcement of hydrophilic natural fibers. This review focuses on various moisture-absorbing and sound-absorbing natural fiber polymer composites along with the synopsis of preparation methods of natural fiber polymer composites. It was stated in various studies that natural fibers are durable with a long life but their moisture absorption behavior depends on various factors. Such natural fibers possess different moisture absorption behavior rates and different moisture absorption behavior. The conversion of hydrophilic fibers into hydrophobic is deemed very important in improving the mechanical, thermal, and physical properties of the natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites. One more physical property that requires the involvement of natural fibers in place of synthetic fibers is the sound absorption behavior. Various researchers have made experiments using natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites as sound-absorbing materials. It was found from various studies that composites with higher thickness, porosity, and density behaved as better sound-absorbing materials.
