Natural fibre composites are expected to be in high demand in the coming years due to increased consumer awareness to
reduce waste and to make environment friendly composites. Recently, there has been rapid growth in research and
innovation in the natural fibre composite area. The greatest advantage of these materials compared to synthetic fibre
composites is that these are environment friendly. This paper provides an insight on current trends in development and
characterization of bagasse based composites. Numerous chemical treatment methods and processing techniques used to
improve the thermal, ageing, mechanical and acoustic properties of sugarcane bagasse reinforced composites are
summarized in this paper. This research aims at development of polymer matrix composites using sugarcane bagasse
fibres and to study its mechanical behaviour under external loads. The test specimens are prepared according to the ASTM
standards. Testing of Mechanical properties such as impact energy, tensile strength and flexural strength is undertaken
and the results are presented.
