Natural fibers like luffa cylindrica, banana and sisal are now considered as a suitable alternative to glass fiber, due to their advantages, which include low cost, high strength-to-weight ratio, and recyclability. Combining natural fibers with glass fiber also decreases the usage of glass fiber. Natural fibers are now regarded as a serious alternative to glass fiber for use as reinforcements in composite materials and having advantages like low cost, low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to breakage during processing, low energy content and recyclability. polymeric based composite materials are used in automotive, sports goods, marine, electrical, industrial, household appliances and many more applications more sustainable construction and packaging materials. Natural fiber reinforced composites are strong, stiff, lightweight, recyclable, and synthetic fiber reinforced composites are strength-to-weight characteristics, high mechanical properties, high electrical insulating properties, low susceptibility to moisture, corrosion resistance and have the potential to meet this need.
