                      Abstract

                      The environmental hazards of synthetic materials have intensified the global pursuit of sustainable, biodegradable alternatives. Jute, a widely available natural fiber, has emerged as a viable reinforcement in bio-composites due to its low cost, renewability, biodegradability, and mechanical robustness. This review presents a comprehensive and critical evaluation of recent advancements in jute fiber-based composites, covering their structure, morphology, chemical composition, surface modifications, and processing techniques. Notably, it highlights the unique potential of jute in nanotechnology, including the production of nanocellulose and its applications in biodegradable packaging, energy storage, and 3D printing areas that have been sparsely covered in previous literature. The study also synthesizes insights on novel hybrid composites, fiber treatments, and fabrication methods that enhance jute’s compatibility with polymer matrices. Key findings indicate that surface modifications significantly improve fiber-matrix adhesion and thermal stability, enabling broader industrial applications. Challenges such as flammability, moisture absorption, and limited thermal resistance are critically assessed, alongside emerging solutions. This review identifies strategic gaps, particularly in scalable processing, high-performance nanocomposites, and the integration of circular economy principles, and outlines future research directions to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale innovation and industrial deployment. By exploring under-researched areas and cross-sector applications, this work extends the frontier of jute-based composite research and supports its evolution into a high-value, environmentally friendly material.
