Hybridization Of Natural Fibre Polymer Composite

Synthetic fibers such as carbon, glass, and kevlar are used as reinforcements and are proven to be the best in respect to the properties, reinforcing ability and application. However, natural fibers such as coir, jute, sisal, flax, hemp, kenaf and more are nowadays widely used as reinforcements, as...
