Abstract

Plant fibers are strong, robust, flexible, versatile, renewable, and sustainable, making them valuable for many applications. Fibers from plants are now utilized in biomedical appli-cations as reinforcements for biological composites to enhance the mechanical characteristics of composite biological materials including rigidity, tensile strength, and endurance. Reinforcement composites with hybrid components were explored in biodevices for prospective utilization in orthopedics, prosthetics, tissue fabrication, and surgical dressings. This review presents an overview of plant fibers, including their characteristics, influencing variables, and numerous applications. The text explores several methods for creating synthetic composites using common, sustainable fibers and the distinct characteristics of the resulting biological materials. The text also analyses many instances of composite hybrids and their application in the biological field. The results are summarised and suggestions for potential improvements are presented. The current research primarily examines the concept, specifications, efficiency, and potential advancements of composites with hybrid characteristics made from plant fibers.
