Fiber Composites: A Comprehensive Review on Performance, Durability,

and Engineering Applications


Abstract
Fiber-reinforced composites have become integral materials across various industries due to their
exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, durability, and versatility. This review covers recent advances in
fiber composite properties, such as synthetic and natural fiber reinforcements. Chemical treatment,
mechanical modification, enhanced durability, and enhanced flame resistance are among the
characteristics emphasized. Various surface treatments, such as alkaline and silane processes, have the
potential to enhance fiber-matrix bond and thus strength and water resistance. Flame retardant coatings
and additives have been developed to enhance fire safety without reducing mechanical strength.
Addition of nanomaterials such as graphene has been shown to reduce water absorption, but long-term
water exposure remains an issue for some fibers. Fiber composites are applied in leading industries such
as the automotive, construction, aerospace, and sporting goods industries due to the demand for light
products and improved performance. Upscaling, cost, and the requirement for standard test protocols
remain issues, however. Future work should be focused on the creation of multifunctional composites
with enhanced chemical properties, mechanics, and environmental resistance. These issues must be
addressed in order to increase the use of fiber composites from niche markets to broad application in
engineering disciplines. Attainment of this will require coordination in materials science and
engineering to optimize the application of fiber-reinforced composites in addressing global goals for
sustainability and performance.
