The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the development and experimental evaluation of natural fibrereinforced synthetic polymer composites fabricated using a compression moulding technique. The study focuses on utilizing biodegradable natural fibres such as jute, sisal, banana fibre, or coir in combination with synthetic polymer matrices. including epoxy, polyester, or polypropylene. The natural fibres are chemically treated to enhance interfacial bonding and reduce moisture absorption. The composite is fabricated through controlled compression moulding parameters involving temperature, pressure, and curing time. The resulting material exhibits improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance while maintaining eco-friendly characteristics. The invention provides a costeffective and sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic fibre composites and is suitable for applications in automotive, construction, and packaging industries.
