Identifying novel natural fibers/fabrics with proper properties as reinforcement material is a new challenge in the field of bio-composites. Hence, the aim of this paper is to study the possibility of using a natural fabric extracted from Manicaria saccifera palm as a novel reinforcement in composites. This fabric was extensively characterized by chemical composition analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FIR) analysis, morphological studies (SEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and physical /mechanical properties studies. From SEM analysis it was identified globular protrusions spread uniformly over the fiber which could help the mechanical interlock with the resin. As well, Manicaria fabric showed good thermal stability, low density, low moisture content and good tensile properties. Further, their properties are comparable to most natural cellulose fabrics and some synthetic fabrics, such as fiber glass fabrics. Manciaria saccifera fabric showed to be a suitable candidate as natural reinforcement material for the development of bio- composite. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
