The need to provide a better and stronger protection against various kinds of ballistic impacts and threats has necessitated the continuous exploration and utilization of high-performance fibres, especially those that are derived from renewable sources for ballistic applications. The development of ballistic protection materials with improved performance and low weight has received much concerns in the past few decades due to the rising cases of threats and insurgencies. Owing to the necessity of improving the ballistic performance of body armour and protective wears especially for military personnel, with a huge consideration for eco-friendly requirement, a review of relevant studies in this area is necessary. Present review article aims to present an overview of the progress and the outstanding advances that have been witnessed in the development of natural-based anti-ballistic composites in the past few years. The article covers the type and selection of the fibre/matrix, failure modes, Impact energy absorption and ballistic simulation of NFRCs. It also highlights the economic cost analysis of replacing synthetic fibres with natural ones in a ballistic composite, and the methods of enhancing the composites for high performance and greater ballistic efficiency. The utilization of natural fibres in PMCs have shown their great potentials as substitutes to the existing advanced fibrous materials that are mostly dominated by synthetic fibres.

为了更好，更强地防御各种弹道冲击和威胁，需要不断探索和利用高性能纤维，尤其是用于弹道应用的可再生资源衍生的高性能纤维。在过去的几十年中，由于威胁和叛乱事件的增加，开发性能更好，重量更轻的防弹材料引起了人们的广泛关注。由于必须提高防弹衣和防护服的弹道性能，特别是对于军事人员，在充分考虑环保要求的情况下，有必要对该领域的相关研究进行综述。本综述文章旨在概述在过去几年中天然防弹复合材料的发展过程中已见证的进展和杰出的进展。本文介绍了纤维/基体的类型和选择，失效模式，冲击能量吸收和NFRC的弹道仿真。它还强调了在防弹复合材料中用天然纤维替代合成纤维的经济成本分析，以及增强复合材料以实现高性能和更高弹道效率的方法。PMC中天然纤维的利用已显示出巨大的潜力，可以替代现有的主要由合成纤维主导的高级纤维材料。本文介绍了纤维/基体的类型和选择，失效模式，冲击能量吸收和NFRC的弹道仿真。它还强调了在防弹复合材料中用天然纤维替代合成纤维的经济成本分析，以及增强复合材料以实现高性能和更高弹道效率的方法。PMC中天然纤维的利用已显示出巨大的潜力，可以替代现有的主要由合成纤维主导的高级纤维材料。本文介绍了纤维/基体的类型和选择，失效模式，冲击能量吸收和NFRC的弹道仿真。它还强调了在防弹复合材料中用天然纤维替代合成纤维的经济成本分析，以及增强复合材料以实现高性能和更高弹道效率的方法。PMC中天然纤维的利用已显示出巨大的潜力，可以替代现有的主要由合成纤维主导的高级纤维材料。
