Abstract

Abstract

The natural fibers are bio-form of plant and animal skin. The natural fibers are abundant in quantity. They possess lightweight and high strength capabilities. The use of those fibers leads no harms in environment, are biodegradable and renewable source of energy. The paper reviews different types of natural fiber, among them hemp fiber, and recognize their mechanical and chemical characteristics. The paper investigates the composite form, which is formed using the natural fiber hemp and polyester resin, varying their proportion and obtaining its mechanical and other properties. The composites made are proposed to be used in other applications.

 

Keywords: Natural fibers, hemp and its properties, composite form
