Review on Mechanical Properties of Sisal and Banana Reinforced Composites

Abstract—This review article concerning about natural fibers like sisal and banana fiber reinforced polymers, it gives possible applications in the material group. This paper is a review of the chemical and mechanical properties of natural fibers like sisal and banana reinforced polymer composites. Natural fibers are rich in cellulose and they are cheap and easily renewable source of fibers with the potential for polymer reinforcement. Natural fibers are emerging as low cost, lightweight and apparently environmentally superior alternatives to glass fibers in composites. In most of the cases, the specific properties of the natural fiber composites were found to compare favorably with those of glass
