| Summary: | The strict environmental regulations and depletion of
petroleum resources urge the use of alternative eco-friendly
natural reinforcements to produce advanced composites.
These natural fillers or fibres such as sisal, coir, basalt, hemp,
flax, and wool offer great renewability, biodegradability,
abundance, cost effectiveness, and low specific gravity as
opposed to synthetic fibres like glass and carbon. Composite
industry realises enormous advantages of their composites
in better functional or structural properties over synthetic
counterparts despite not having relatively high mechanical
performance.
