“…Some of the most widely studied natural vegetable fibers are extracted from the bast, stem, or phloem (of banana, flax, hemp, jute, and kenaf); leaves (of abaca, agave, banana, pineapple, palm, and sisal); seeds and fruits (of coconut, coir, cotton, kapok, and rice husk); reeds (of bamboo, barley, corn, nettle, oats, cane, rice, rye, and wheat); and wood [8,15,18]. [1,4,13,15,18,24,28,36,45,47].…”

“…Bast fibers are the most widely used lignocellulosic fibers due to their superior technical characteristics and easy and fast production and extraction [6,38,50]. [1,4,13,15,18,24,28,36,45,47].…”

“…Lignocellulosic fibers present technical barriers to manufacture composites due to their variation in cell wall structure, composition, and geometry [15,105]. The main disadvantage of natural fibers as reinforcing components in composite materials, compared to synthetic fibers, is their hydrophilic nature, which makes them polar and therefore not compatible with the non-polar hydrophobic polymeric matrix [8,13,15,32]. Lignocellulosic elements, pectins, waxes, and natural plant oils act as barriers of the reactive groups of these fibers in the matrix.…”

“…Compared to inorganic fibers, natural fibers are abundant renewable resources. They are easily biodegradable; nontoxic; nonabrasive; low-density; low-cost [5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]; not harmful to human health [15,16]; and resistant to corrosion [17], alkali, and most organic acids. However, they are destroyed by strong mineral acids [18].…”

“…Natural vegetable fibers (VF) have been widely used to reinforce polymeric composite materials [19,20]. Besides, VF (in percentages previously analyzed in several studies) are preferred over inorganic fibers in industrial applications and to develop new composites due to their low cost, versatility, abundance, environmental attributes (i.e., renewable, recyclable and biodegradable) [13,15,21,22], mechanical properties (e.g., high tensile strength, flexural modulus, and low density), and high electrical resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, and fracture resistance [23]. At the same time natural fibers offer multiple benefits, studies also show that their mechanical properties are low compared with synthetic fibers due their hydrophilic nature.…”

In the last decade, natural fibers have had a significant impact on the research and development of innovative composites made with natural rubber, improving their properties over those of their counterparts that incorporate polluting synthetic fibers. In recent years, this fact has stimulated the research into several modified natural rubber composites reinforced with vegetable fibers. This paper reviews the scientific literature published in the last decade about the properties and characteristics of natural vegetable fibers and natural rubber used in composites. Nowadays the use of alternative materials has become necessary, considering that synthetic materials have caused irreversible damage to the environment, being associated with global warming, for this reason research and development with materials that print a lower carbon footprint during the manufacturing process and subsequent product manufacturing. This review is an invitation to the use of vegetable fibers, as well as vegetable-type matrices, in this case natural rubber as a binder system, it is fantastic to know the different works carried out by other scientists and engineers, in this way to project new compounds linked to innovation in processes that reduce the carbon footprint and its negative impact on our planet.

Multifunctional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide an ideal platform for next-generation smart composites applications including structural health monitoring, electrical and thermal conductivity, energy storage and harvesting, and electromagnetic interference shielding without compromising their mechanical properties. Recent progress in carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has enabled the development of many novel multifunctional composites with excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. However, the effective incorporation of such carbon nanomaterials into FRP composites using scalable, high-speed, and cost-effective manufacturing without compromising their performance is challenging. This review summarizes the recent progress on graphene and CNT-based FRP composites, their manufacturing techniques, and their applications in smart composites. Current technical challenges and future perspectives on smart FRP composites research to facilitate an essential step toward moving from research and development-based smart composites to industrial-scale mass production are also discussed.
