Growing towards the eco-friendly technology natural fibres takes main part in the field. This study is about discussing the properties of natural fibre and natural fibre composites. Influence of various factors like fibre diameter, fibre content, density, fibre size, geometry of fibre and coupling agents towards the mechanical properties, thermal properties and water intake properties are presented in this study. Improvement on Surface treatment and addition of coupling agents can improve the
