In today’s scenario, there is an increasing need for eco-friendly materials with relatively high strength to weight
ratio. FRPs reinforced with synthetic fibres are of high strength to weight ratios and b ecome excellent
substitutes for conventionally used high strength materials. The poor biodegradability of synthetic
FRPs is a serious issue, as of today. Natural fibre reinforced FRPs can solve both the performance
and environment related issues. Murali et al. [1] carried out a research to study the possibilities of introducing
new natural fibers as fillers in a polymeric matrix, to develop economic and light weight structural materials. Later,
techniques for extraction of fibres from plants like vakka (Roystonea regia), date and bamboo fibers were
developed by researchers. The density and tensile properties of these fibers were almost as good as those of
established fibers like sisal, banana, coconut and palm. Mechanical properties of coconut spathe and coconut
spathe-fiber reinforced epoxy composites were studied by Sapuan et al. [2] and their potential to become
successful materials in engineering applications was quantified. Tensile strength and flexural strength for the
coconut spathe-fiber-reinforced composite laminates ranged from 7.9 MPa to 11.6 MPa and 25.6 MPa to 67.2
MPa respectively. These values were lesser compared to that of composites made from cotton fibre, coconut coir
and banana fiber. The coconut spathe-fiber-reinforced composite laminates with chemically treated fibres showed
good fibre marix adhesion and hence better mechanical properties.
