Abstract

Nowadays, industries are focusing on developing new materials which must have good durability, bio degradable and with ease of fabrication. For military application, aramid fiber is mostly preferred due to their high impact resistance property. If natural fiber is also combined with aramid fiber then industries can produce biodegradable material. Hence, this paper reviews aramid fiber (Kevlar) composites fabricated with natural fibers. In this paper, the mechanical characteristics of Kevlar composites and various combinations of natural with Kevlar composites have been discussed in detail
