Abstract
Natural fibres are widely used in different applications and one of the important applications is sound insulation. The research trends in the improvement of thermal and sound insulation of the jute-based composite materials filled with polymer materials are studied by the researchers. Jute fibres exhibit admirable heat and sound insulation properties but this has not been completely researched as yet. A detailed information related to enrich the insulation properties of jute non-woven-reinforced polymer composites based on its design of manufacturing, density of composites, morphology, structural parameters of fibre batting, number of layers and recent strategies are discussed for its high-performance potential applications.Keywords
