Abstract

For the manufacturing of composites, researchers all over the world have moved from commercially available glass fibres to aramid fibres in recent years. The low density, ease of availability and high basic intensity of aramid fibres drew the attention of researchers and academicians alike. As a result, considerable progress has been made in the development of aramid fibre-reinforced composites for various industrial applications over the last decade. As a result, in-depth awareness of this fibre and its composites is essential right now in order to achieve better results. The emphasis of this study was on recent advancements in aramid fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composites. In this study, the manufacturing, surface treatment of fibres and possible applications are addressed. The advantages, disadvantages and real-time successful industrial components of this fibre are also briefly explored.
