Use of Sugar Cane Fibers for Composites—A Short Review

Natural fibers are widely used in a wide range of applications. Each fiber has unique characteristics and for this, studies are made to know the best application for each fiber. In the case of sugar cane fiber, in addition of being almost unlimited, it is commonly wasted in countries that cultivate it, which characterizes a fiber of very low cost. This article aims to portray the main properties of sugar cane, directing its properties to application in natural fiber composites. As part of this purpose, researches are presented in which bagasse fibers were applied in composites, with different purposes, such as thermal, physical and mechanical study, as well as practical applications, mainly as reinforcement in cements.
