This paper reviews the work done on the proposed combined polymer composite consisting of a poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) and other various adhesive reinforced by coconut fibre (coir fibre). Reinforcement with natural fibres are popular due to its easy availability, easily extracted, enhance energy recovery, biodegradability, low density and low cost etc. Similarly growing concern about the environment, global warming, depleting petroleum reserves are the reasons to focus more on bio-degradable polymer composite. It also reviews the mechanical properties, methods of preparation, advantages of chemical treatment of the fibre, applications whereas the limitation and challenges of these composites materials. This review indicates that PVA and other various adhesives such as epoxy, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), and polyester etc. composites have potential for countless applications.
