Environmental concerns have resulted in designing environmentally friendly and renewable materials from natural resources. Lately, natural fibers have been increased dramatically in the current trend of ‘green’ consumption as a value-added for composite development. The natural fiber reinforced composites (NFRCs) offer specific properties in diverse fields such as ease of productivity, processing and cost reduction. These benchmark properties are comparable to those of conventional fiber further for filler in developing composite. Indeed, several factors, limitations and constraints regarding its properties such as relatively high moisture absorption (swelling and degradation) and poor interfacial interaction (fiber and matrix) have become critical issues. An excellent enhancement for the incompatibility between the fiber and matrix can be achieved with a response to fiber surface modification by using chemical treatment. This review presents an attempt to draw good overviews in questions concerning the fiber modifications influenced by non-acidic treatment to enhance their usage successfully. Summary of reported work on NFRCs with various aspects related to the filler, modification and parameter of natural fiber were discussed.
