Resumen
This review presents the research reports related to
the development of new polymeric composites reinforced
with natural fibers and agro-industrial wastes
from Ecuador. Vegetable fibers with potential are
analyzed to be used as reinforcement in polymeric
composites. It summarizes the relevant results from
the different investigations analyzed. Aspects such
as the type of matrix, the fiber morphology, surface
treatment and mechanical properties are presented.
