Sisal (Agave sisalana) fibre and its polymer-based composites: A review on current developments

Nowadays, it has been global demand to overcome the abundant use of synthetic fibres with respect to save the environment. Sisal fibre is one of the widely used natural fibre and being used as reinforcement for polymer-based composites on account of its excellent properties. This review article deals a brief description of sisal fibre along with its recent applications and characterization of its polymer-based composites in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties and tribological and water absorption behaviour. The recent applications of polymer-based sisal composites and recommendation for future work are also presented.
