A novel cellulosic fibre was extracted from the peduncle portion of the fish tail palm tree and the extracted fish tail palm fibre was treated with different concentrations (1%, 5%, and 9%) of silane solution. The characteristic analysis on chemical, functional, mechanical and surface property of the extracted fish tail palm fibres were investigated through chemical composition analysis, Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FT-IR), single fibre tensile test, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Chemical analysis results indicate that silane treatment improved the cellulose content of the fish tail palm fibre. The highest cellulose content of 72.51% was observed in the 9% silane treated fish tail palm fibre. Also, it improved crystallinity index value of 62.5% for 5% silane treated fibre, which is confirmed through the X-ray diffraction analysis. FT-IR result indicates the removal of hemicellulose at characteristic wavelength of 1745 cm −1 for 5% silane treated fish tail palm fibre. Tensile property of the silane treated fish tail palm fibre (1, 5, and 9%) shows an increased tensile strength of 7.3%, 12%, and 6.6% as compared to raw fish tail palm fibre. Moreover, this type of novel natural fibres can reduce the cost while offering competent performance during the polymer-based product development.

“…The thermal properties of hemp fibers are higher when investigating the use of non-woven hemp fibers. [24] Hemp fabrics are also widely used in design, development of design elements or structures. At the University of Colorado, [25] hemp fiber fabrics were tested and compared to 100% cotton fabrics.…”

Global trends in the world are currently representing a serious incentive to bring ‘green thinking’ to life. This is the case of replacing synthetic materials derived from fossil resources with natural-origin, renewable resources. In the automotive industry and other segments of the manufacturing industry, increasing attention is being paid to the use of natural fibers in the manufacturing of composite materials. For example, flax and hemp fiber, as reinforcing material, is starting to widely replace carbon fiber. It is not just an ecological benefit, but also an important product protecting human health, since the amount of emissions that pollute the environment is minimized. Consequently, that lead to reduced intake by human being of harmful substances that would affect its health status. Existing composite materials used in motor vehicles, produced from carbon fibers, are creating very sharp fracture areas in the event of accidents causing human injury, while materials from natural fiber plants in this case are free from sharp edges at the place of fracture. Raw materials derived from hemp processing are used in the automotive, textile industry, construction (hemp concrete, heat insulation material), energy, biofuel production, arts and design, paper production, food, medicine, etc. This paper covers the main types of products derived from hemp.

“…Moreover, hemp fibers have good moisture management properties, making them suitable for use in wearable electronics. The natural breathability of hemp fibers and their excellent moisture-wicking properties make them an excellent material for wearable devices . This is particularly important for wearable health monitoring devices, such as heart rate monitors, which need to be in close contact with the skin for extended periods of time.…”

While e-textiles are widely popular, their mass adoption is hindered by issues related to sustainability, reusability, and durability. Furthermore, complicated manufacturing processes and the use of toxic chemicals have exacerbated these challenges. This study presents a straightforward and scalable method for creating e-textiles using ecofriendly hemp fiber. The hemp fiber was coated with biocompatible reduced graphene oxide and polypyrrole to produce a robust and flexible electrode. The hemp e-textile was stable against different mechanical deformations, such as bending, stretching, and twisting. It was demonstrated that the electrode could be effectively used for resistive heating in wearable devices, producing the necessary heat at safe voltage levels. Additionally, when utilized as a wearable body movement tracking device, the coated hemp yarn effectively monitored finger, wrist, and elbow movements. The signal produced during movement monitoring was consistent and repeatable, indicating its suitability for practical applications. Furthermore, the hemp e-textiles exhibit exceptional durability and reusability under different environmental conditions, making them highly sustainable.
