Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composite materials are used to develop the best outcome materials because of their easy availability, capacity to be recycled, and environmental friendliness.Both urban and rural areas can benefit from the products developed from this material.Borassus flabellifer L fruits, leavesand leaves stems are utilized economically, and part of them is thrown away as trash. This Borassus Flabellifer byproduct can be used as a source of fibers and as the primary component of natural fiber polymer composites with reinforcement. This article aims to provide a thorough understanding of Borassus fibers and their composites. Studies have been done on Borassus fibers and its composites' chemical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics as well as alkali treatment approaches and various production methods. Overall, this review paper analyzes and pinpoints gaps in the earlier studies' work, and it offers valuable data for additional investigation in various streams using reinforcement from Borassus fiber.
