Natural fiber reinforced polymer-based composites: importance of jute fiber

Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites have become widely used in the last few years. Environmental concerns have forced academics to focus on developing "green composites," which has led to an increase in the usage of jute fiber as reinforcement. This review article seeks to give a thorough analysis of the most effective and widely used natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFPC). It also provides a summary of distinct qualities and their uses in various sectors. The jute fiber composites involving basic types of polymer-based composites and their mechanical properties were reported. The uses of NFPCs were constrained by a variety of shortcomings, including higher water absorption, less fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties. The applications of NFPCs in the building, packaging, automobile, aerospace and sports industries were also investigated. As a result of their low cost, low density, rigidity, accessibility and low production energy, jute fiber-reinforced composites offer an advantage.
