Biological fibers
have recently became eye-catching to researchers, engineers and scientists as
an alternative reinforcement for FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) composites, due
to their low cost, fairly good mechanical properties and high aspect strength.
One of the
immaculate biological fibers is the human hair. On the whole, three to four tons of
human hair fibers are wasted in India
annually; hence they pose an environmental challenge.
In order to find
commercial application the wasted human hair fibre is nowadays finding its use
in the field of material science. Human hair is basically a nano-composite
biological fiber with well characterized microstructures.
