Glass and Natural Fiber Composite: Properties and Applications

Glass and Natural Fiber Composite: Properties and Applications

Guravtar Singh Mann, Anish Khan, Abdullah M Asiri

The ecological concerns and issues such as recycling of plastic products and environmental care are increasingly important to handle the present situation of climate change. As a consequence of growing environmental awareness surrounding society a there is a great interest in the research on more eco-friendly materials that are derived from renewable resources. Therefore, natural composites also known as green bio composites have received attention from researchers and industries to develop biodegradable materials by using natural fibres, those possess outstanding degradable and sustainable properties. Because of its superior properties such as high specific strength, low weight, low cost, reasonably good mechanical properties, non-abrasive, eco-friendly, and bio-degradable characteristics, natural fibres these materials are useful to help researchers, scientists and industries to develop different biodegradable and eco-friendly products. This chapter explored the mechanical properties of natural-glass fibre reinforced polymer composites by considering database from google scholar and other relevant sites.
