• Abstract:

  Natural fibers are attracting interest in engineering sectors due to specific advantages such as low density and cost, as well as renewability, biodegradability, recycling and CO2 neutrality. The objective of this work is to carry out a review on the composition processes of materials based on polymeric resins and lignocellulosic ramie fibers. This review must be able to provide a comprehensive view of the mechanical properties and applications for this composite, evaluating performance at limit levels of inclusion of lignocellulosic material. Finally, evaluations of this material over the last five years will also be visited in order to demonstrate the state of the art in the creation of this composite.
