Comparison study of prosopis juliflora and coir fiber composite: A review

The use of composites are being increased day by day. There many types of composites like mud building bricks, concrete and reinforced concrete, fiberglass, natural composites. Natural composites are the one which are made of plant derived fiber with polymeric matrix. The natural fiber consists of sisal, jute, hemp, banana leaf fibers, bamboo, wheat straw, coir fiber, grass reeds, wood fiber, rice husk, wheat, prosopis julifora, oats, cane and many other fibrous materials. They have a vast application and are eco-friendly. Natural fiber reduces both cost and density when compared to other types of fibers which are available. The alternative source of synthetic fibers are natural fibers which are renewable in nature, cost effective and also causes no harm to the environment. In this the uses and applications of prosopis juliflora and coir fiber natural composites are discussed.
