Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composite materials are now a hot topic that is extensively discussed and investigated in this era. The applications of natural fiber reinforced composites are constantly increasing, especially for sustainable issues. There are several natural fibers available used for reinforced composite materials. Among them palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber is mostly famous used as reinforced composite materials. This short review study represents the concept of reinforced composite manufactured by palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber. It provides an overview of reinforced composite by palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber. Basically, this study addresses materials (palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber, alkali, matrix and epoxy resin) used for reinforced composite of palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber. Besides, it illustrates the manufacturing techniques of reinforced composite materials of palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber. Finally, it addresses the applications of reinforced composite materials that are manufactured by palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber.
