Abstract

Researchers and scientists have recently focused on developing a green composite material to replace traditional materials like metals, polymer, metal matrix composites, alloys, etc. Natural fibers as reinforcing materials for constructions have gotten attention in recent years because of their lower cost, environmental-friendliness, and bio-compatibility compared to fabricated fiber composite materials. This study focuses on current palm fiber investigations, collating, and reviewing data from a variety of sources. Finally, the findings from previous research were collated and analyzed, using visual, chemical, physiological, mechanical, and thermal considerations. Sugar palm, oil palm, date palm, as well as other palm species, as well as leaf extract, were included in this study. Physiological, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties are all investigated. Palm fibers have been proven to be compatible with a wide range of reinforcing materials, such as polymer composite materials, epoxy, polypropylene, polyethylene, and high-density Portland cement, among others.
