A Review on Progress of Bagasse and Coir Fibre Composites and Their Mechanical Performances

Abstract

The main objective of this review is to study the potential of agro-residues such as bagasse fibre, coir fibre, and combination of both as reinforcements for composite materials as an alternative to natural and synthetic fiber. In recent times, there has been a fast progress in study and development in the field of natural fibre composite. Interest is justified due to the reward of these materials compared to synthetic fibre composite, including unassuming environmental strength, inexpensive and hold up their prospective across a extensive range of use. A lot of effort has been made in ordered to examine the mechanical properties of composites made from these natural fibre materials. This study aims to offer a summary of the factors that influence the mechanical properties of natural fibre composites particularly in bagasse and coir fibre composite and their hybrid composites.
