This definition includes all natural cellulosic fibres (cotton, jute, sisal, coir, flax, hemp, abaca, ramie, etc.) and protein-based fibres such as wool and silk. There are also man-made cellulose fibres (e.g., viscose rayon and cellulose acetate) that are produced with chemical procedures from pulped wood or other sources (cotton, bamboo). Natural fibres being cost effective and abundantly available yields high potential in various industrial and commercial applications such as in the interior applications of the passenger cars, panels for partition and false ceiling, partition boards, roof tiles, coir fibres in packaging, furniture applications, as insulating materials in low energy houses, geo-textiles for soil protection and erosion control, enhancing barrier properties, composites etc. Due to research and developmental work in modification and treatment methods of natural fibres, utilization of natural fibres has observed a significant growth in various applications. The experiment analyse the potential applications of natural fibres in various commercial sectors for the development of environment-friendly products with an aim to replace synthetic fibres or inorganic fillers with cost-effective and efficient products.
