“…In addition, the unique properties of biocomposites may be tuned and tailored by several parameters, such as the fiber, matrix, filler, and processing methods [13]. Even though they offer key advantages, such as low immunogenicity and outstanding water absorption capability, some plant fibers still lack or display mediocre desired properties (e.g., thermal, or mechanical) [140]. Therefore, a suitable solution resides in combining natural fibers with synthetic materials to give rise to biocomposites that meet specific requirements that are critical to achieving the targeted application.…”

Plant fibers possess high strength, high fracture toughness and elasticity, and have proven useful because of their diversity, versatility, renewability, and sustainability. For biomedical applications, these natural fibers have been used as reinforcement for biocomposites to infer these hybrid biomaterials mechanical characteristics, such as stiffness, strength, and durability. The reinforced hybrid composites have been tested in structural and semi-structural biodevices for potential applications in orthopedics, prosthesis, tissue engineering, and wound dressings. This review introduces plant fibers, their properties and factors impacting them, in addition to their applications. Then, it discusses different methodologies used to prepare hybrid composites based on these widespread, renewable fibers and the unique properties that the obtained biomaterials possess. It also examines several examples of hybrid composites and their biomedical applications. Finally, the findings are summed up and some thoughts for future developments are provided. Overall, the focus of the present review lies in analyzing the design, requirements, and performance, and future developments of hybrid composites based on plant fibers.
