Review on Composition of Natural and Synthetic Material

Abstract

Since composite materials are thought to be better than alloys and metals in comparison to traditional materials, they are essential in the field of materials science and engineering. A composite material is made up of two distinct materials with dissimilar characteristics combined. Compared to metals and alloys, composite materials are lighter, have a longer lifespan, and don't experience wear and tear. Due to their superior mechanical qualities and evolving application dynamics, composite materials are becoming increasingly popular. Conventional methods for making and characterizing composite materials are well-established technologies. However, it has been discovered that using modest amounts of fillers in addition to conventional reinforcing fibers and resins is a better option for improving the mechanical, chemical, and physical properties of composite materials.  Hybrid composites made from natural fibers such as banana fibers and synthetic fibers such as carbon fibers and e-glass fibers are stronger, lighter, cheaper, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly than traditional metals. As a result, scientists and researchers are searching for renewable, biodegradable composite materials that are reinforced with natural fibers. Unquestionably, natural fibers have advantages over synthetic fibers, including reduced density, comparable durability, non-toxicity, lower cost, and less waste disposal issues. Scientists have directed various examinations to research the potential purposes of normal strands. However, during this long period, filaments like banana, jute, bagasse, and sisal additionally acquired significance. After the fruit is harvested, banana fibers which are derived from the steam created by banana plants—are discarded. Polymer composites' mechanical, chemical, and physical properties have been improved as a result of the use of banana fiber as a reinforcing material. This study provides a comprehensive overview of banana fiber-reinforced composites and their potential applications. This study addresses various aspects that influence the performance of banana fiber-reinforced polymer composites, including Banana Fiber length, orientation and composition, humidity, temperature and surface treatment.
