Abstract
Natural fibers have attracted the interest to engineers, researchers, professionals and scientists all over the world as an alternative reinforcement, because of its superior properties such as high specific strength, low weight, low cost, fairly good mechanical properties, non abrasive, eco-friendly and bio-degradable characteristics. A brief review has been carried out to make use of the natural fibers (such as abaca, jute, cotton, coir, Glass fiber etc) abundantly available in India. This paper presents a review on the mechanical properties of Abaca, Jute, Glass fibre
