Abstract

Abstract: The construction industry is revolutionizing in two major ways. One way is the development of construction techniques, such as using automated tools in construction. The other is the advancement in high-performance construction materials, such as the introduction of high strength composite. Natural fiber replaces the synthetic fiber dueto its superior properties for example high specific strength, small weight, and low cost, moderately good mechanical property, non-abrasive recyclable and bio-degradable features. But the mechanical properties of natural fibre composites are less than that of synthetic composite like glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). In present study the natural fiber polymer composites mix with the glass fiber, to enhance the mechanical property of composite.In this paper, a short review has been carried out to make use of natural fibers (such as abaca, banana, bamboo, cotton, coir, hemp, jute, pineapple, sisal etc) which is abundantly available in India. In this work Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers are mixing with sisal with various sisal fiber lengths (5, 10, and 15, 20 mm) toincrease Engineering and Technology applications. This paper presents a review on the mechanical properties of sisal-glass fiber reinforced polymer composites.
