Roman Paul , Assistant Professor & Mechanical engineering & Kerala Technical University (KTU) Eranad Knowledge City Technical Campus Manjeri, Malappuram, Kerala, IndiaAbstract
Natural hybrid composite materials, combining organic and inorganic constituents, have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties and versatile applications. This review explores the fundamental characteristics and synthesis methods of these materials, emphasizing their mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. The synergistic effects arising from the integration of natural fibers, such as cellulose or lignin, with inorganic components like nanoparticles or biominerals, are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the diverse applications of natural hybrid composites in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to biomedical and construction are highlighted, showcasing their potential for sustainable and high-performance materials. This comprehensive overview aims to provide insights into the development, properties, and promising applications of natural hybrid composite materials, underscoring their role in advancing both technological innovation and environmental sustainability.
