“…It is mainly composed of hemicellulose and high rate of moisture sorption [17]. Thus areca needs to be treated before using it for making composite to reduce the moisture absorption [18]. Kenaf fiber is a cellulosic fiber.…”

Now days, green composite materials are now gaining popularity for the various industrial applications. It is a combination of naturally occurring reinforcement like jute, sisal, flax, hemp, and kenaf; and matrix materials like biopolymers or bio resins which have been derived from starch, and vegetable oils. It is becoming more desirable due to its properties like biodegradability, renewability and environment friendly. The present paper presents the various natural fibers and their combinations with biopolymers. The paper also reflects the key issue related to hydrophilic nature of natural fibers and their remedies for a good fiber and bio polymer adhesion. Furthermore the strategy used and major attributes of the green composite are also discussed.

“…The water absorption and biodegradability was lower for the developed in-situ composites compared to pure wood. [78] reported the preparation of biodegradable composites consisting of randomly oriented alkaline treated areca fibres reinforced corn starch matrix for small load applications. The fibers were extracted and dried in ambient conditions for 24 h. The water and plasticizers were also used.…”

“…Fiber loading is an important criterion in deciding the strength and stiffness of the natural fiber composites [6]. Areca fiber reinforced with various polymers can also be used for small load carrying applications [7].At the same time; various shortcomings of the natural fibers have to be solved in order to be competitive with the glass fiber. Natural fibers are often treated with chemicals in order to increase the fiber-matrix interface adhesion and mechanical properties [8].…”

In this paper, tensile behaviour of the natural fiber composites such as the areca nut composites and the sunn hemp composites were determined. The fibers were arranged in different orientations such as the uniaxial, biaxial and the criss-cross arrangements. For both the types of fiber composites, specimens were made with and without the incorporation of E-glass fibers. Comparisons were done on the basis of fiber orientation, E-glass fibers incorporation and the type of natural fiber used. Initially, the fibers were treated with alkali, i.e. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in order to get better bonding at the fiber-matrix interface. The conventional hand lay-up technique followed by the soft compression molding technique was carried out for fabricating the composite specimens. It was inferred from the results that the tensile strength was more for uniaxial arrangement and the least for biaxial arrangement in case of both the fibers. Further, for both the fibers, E-glass fiber incorporation increased the tensile strength as compared to the non-incorporated E-glass fiber composites. Also, sunn hemp composites showed better tensile strength than areca nut composites. The research suggested that the areca nut and sunn hemp composites were assets to many potential applications that did not require very high load bearing capabilities. These examined composites can be considered as very reliable materials for fabrication of lightweight materials used in automobile industry, packaging materials, medical field, etc.
