ABSTRACT
The ever-burgeoning sustainable need for humanity to produce lighter, tougher, and more cost-effective materials has led to the development of biodegradable composites. Ever since their creation, natural fiber-based composites have found themselves ubiquitous. Due to their exceptional performance, Natural fiber-reinforced composites have been predominantly used in several engineering applications. Coconut leaf sheath (CLS) is an abundantly available agro-waste that can be easily extracted from the coconut tree. This review investigates the potential of incorporating coconut sheath into polymeric matrices. Also, the effects of surface treatments, synthetic fiber hybridization, and nanofiller-modified matrices were analyzed in detail. It has been observed that surface modification of coconut sheath, hybridization with other natural or synthetic fibers, and nanofiller-modified polymeric composites exhibit better mechanical performance compared to monolithic coconut sheath-based polymeric composites. One of the key advantages of hybrid composites is that they can combine the strengths of different constituents to overcome their individual limitations. Moreover, coconut sheath-based hybrid composites enhance the composites' damage tolerance and reduce the material cost.
