A review on natural fibre reinforced polymer composites and the applications of these composites
Authors

Abstract
The use of renewable starting materials in the preparation of polymers
has been stimulated over the years by researchers and governmental agencies all
over the world as a real result of the real need to replace products of
petrochemicals origins. The use of renewable resources in the production of value-added
polymers for various applications is now a days an unquestionable reality that
aims to minimize the depletion of the ozone layer and greenhouse effect
provoked by the improper use of fossil starting materials. Polyurethanes are
known to be very attractive materials for various applications such as
electrical potting and encapsulation, constructions, water proofing membranes,
asphalt extended membranes, highway sealants, sound and vibration damping, automotive
and rubber parts, etc. Polyurethanes constitute a class of polymers with great
versatility such as excellent abrasion resistance, hardness, enhanced chemicals
and solvent resistance, flexibility, high cohesive strength and amenable curing
speed, which permit the manufacturing the products ranging from expanded
materials to highly compact materials. Polyurethanes can be tailored made
according to their applications as adhesives, additives, a catalyst or a
coating material.
