Researchers have compared natural jute fiber to synthetic fibers due to their distinct physical and mechanical properties, which have been recognized for decades. Jute fibers are a very versatile type of vegetable fibers widely used in structural composites and it has also shown potential in various applications such as nanoparticles, building interior, and automotive components. However, designing jute composite parts is a challenging task due to plant origin, growth conditions, age, stem location, extraction method, and non‐uniform fiber cross section. The current review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on jute fiber and its composites of water and moisture absorption behavior on their performance. The most relevant findings regarding jute fiber water and moisture absorption characteristics have been summarized and analyzed in this review paper. In addition, this article presents an overview of the main characteristics of jute fibers, several parameters influencing the characteristics of jute fibers, jute fiber reinforcement composites, impact of relative humidity, swelling properties on jute fiber composite materials, and potential future research areas are also highlighted. Highlights: Higher growing interest of researchers for jute fiber Factors affecting the properties of jute fibers Various way of making jute fiber reinforced composites Influence of moisture on its properties Present and future areas of its upgradation

The upward trajectory of plant-based cellulosic fiber originating from renewable sources is crucial to visualizing a sustainable future. This article reports a freshly developed and distinctive natural fiber derived from palmyra seed sprout fibers (PSSF) by employing hot water retting. The hygroscopic behavior (moisture regain and content) density, bundle fiber strength, burning behavior, and chemical composition of the fiber are determined using ASTM D1909, ASTM D2654, ASTM D891-18, ASTM D1445, ASTM D1230-22, and TAPPI standards, respectively. Crystallinity, fiber configuration, biological groups, flame behavior, and temperature responsiveness are determined using XRD, SEM, FTIR, burn test, and TGA tests. The reported cellulose-rich textile fiber that contains 64% cellulose with average moisture recovery and content percentages of 14.38% and 12.56%, respectively. The envisioned fiber has an average tensile strength of 11.05 g tex−1, a breaking extension of 1.8 mm, and a crystallinity of 38%. The highest temperature at which the fiber begins to deteriorate is 474 °C. This noble fiber can be utilized to create biological materials, cellulose nanoparticles, composites reinforced with fibers, and more.
