Recently, due to increasing environmental concerns, scientists and researchers have been replacing synthetic fibers with natural fibers as the main component in composites. Roselle is one suitable natural fiber. The plant’s history, physical description, cultural methods, and usages were explained to further understand this potential plant. It is clear that extensive research has been performed on the fiber extraction methods, properties, and possible surface treatments of Roselle fibers to enhance its properties in the manufacturing of natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites.Also Epoxy hybrid Palm Seed powder with Roselle fiber to strengthen the materials; however, no review has covered the properties and applications of Roselle fibers and palm seed powders in detail. Thus we have investigated Tensile, Impact, Flexural and Water absorption test of Roselle fiber and Palm Seed powder composite. Therefore, a study was performed on Roselle fiber to determine its potential to enable a better selection of materials to produce composites for potential applications in the construction and building, automotive, and aerospace industries.
