  By Venkata Narsireddy Sagili, Mohd Hasham Ali, Hanumatu Krishna Murty Dora, G. Prasanna Kumar, V. Dharam Singh, Snehal Dewalkar

  Abstract: The environmental footprint of synthetic plastics has led to extensive studies of sustainable polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers like jute, sisal, hemp, flax, and coir. These biocomposites offer a greener solution to the conventional petroleum-based materials, which blends biodegradability and competitive mechanical characteristics. The present paper focuses on the processing methods, mechanical and thermal characteristics, and the possible application of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs). A survey of 50 …
