Abstract

A composite is a substance made up of two or more separate materials that have been blended or combined to create a new material with superior qualities. According to estimates from engineering materials research, there are more than 80,000 different kinds of materials in the world. It comprises both metallic and non-metallic materials, including semiconductors, ceramics, glasses, and plastics. Furthermore, various fields in which composites are used, including several industrial, biomedical, and home uses. For selecting the material for the composites, a range of instruments are also available. Natural fiber composites have been increasingly important in recent years because of their numerous uses in the automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, furniture, and building construction industries. Researchers and academicians would find this very helpful in learning about natural fiber composites and their useful applications.
