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.
