文摘Natural fiber-reinforced polymers remained a hot topic of interest in material sciences over the last two decades.Such fibers are appealing in composite materials due to their renewability,low density,better specific strength,biodegradability,accessibility,and low cost.Polymers reinforced with natural fibers provide improved mechanical performance at a lower cost and could be the best alternative to synthetic fibers.Bio-fillers have gained much attention nowadays due to their cost-effectivity and the ability to modify base materials in the composite structure.Natural materials reinforced epoxy composites have a high capacity due to their eco-friendliness,economic feasibility,and technical viability.However,some parameters directly influence desired product performance.This review discusses various properties of natural fibers and their impact on the overall performance of natural fiber-based epoxy composites.It summarizes the recent research on natural fibers/bio-fillers reinforced epoxy biocomposites.
