yes i want to know like which polymer matrix will binds natural fiber effectively(with minimum defects) and also the adhesive which can be used as adhesive to prepare adhesive bonded lap joints
and the application for which i m looking is marine
Natural fibers are polar in nature. Epoxy, acrylic, vinyl adhesive can be used. Of course, as mentioned by others, the matrix must be discussed when adhesive is selected.
Following to answer of Asit Baran Samui, I may add that natural fibers are hydrophilic and have many polar hydroxyl groups on the surface, but plastics are hydrophobic. For example, using of polyolefine resin modified by anhydride, (maleic and so) allows us to improve the compatibility of the natural fibers and resin.
