Abstract

Synthetic Fibers are derived from the petrochemical route, which is an issue for the environment. Natural fibers are novel materials that are sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly options to be reinforced in various polymer matrices. Natural fibers have tremendous potential to replace synthetic fibers like glass, Aramid, etc., also they are giving a boost to the rural economy as they are waste material for the agricultural sector. A combination of high mechanical performances and plant-based origin, flax fibers are Flax is the key member in the family of traditional natural fibers. High volume of research articles and reviews targeted on the processing technologies and characteristics of flax-based sustainable composites in various diverse applications, along with semi- structural materials. This article compiles the recent developments in the processing and characterization of polymer composites reinforced by this novel fiber. The moisture absorption of flax fibres, as well as the poor interfacial adhesion between flax fibres and the matrix.
