“…Chen et al [ 35 ] reported that bamboo fibres have much lower volumes of fracture behaviours, high proportions of fibre dissociations and matrix failure due to its hierarchical fibrous woven structure. On the other hand, Sueli Aparecida de Oliveira et al [ 36 ] reported that composites that have natural cotton fibres as fillers exhibited a reduced environmental impact as compared exclusively to PLA or PLA/thermoplastic starch (TPS)-based thermoplastics. Moreover, the natural cotton fibre composites had a better overall performance, under the eco-efficiency perspective.…”

As one of the fastest-growing additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, fused deposition modelling (FDM) shows great potential in printing natural fibre-reinforced composites (NFRC). However, several challenges, such as low mechanical properties and difficulty in printing, need to be overcome. Therefore, the effort to improve the NFRC for use in AM has been accelerating in recent years. This review attempts to summarise the current approaches of using NFRC as a feeder for AM. The effects of fibre treatments, composite preparation methods and addition of compatibilizer agents were analysed and discussed. Additionally, current methods of producing feeders from NFRCs were reviewed and discussed. Mechanical property of printed part was also dependent on the printing parameters, and thus the effects of printing temperature, layer height, infill and raster angle were discussed, and the best parameters reported by other researchers were identified. Following that, an overview of the mechanical properties of these composites as reported by various researchers was provided. Next, the use of optimisation techniques for NFRCs was discussed and analysed. Lastly, the review provided a critical discussion on the overall topic, identified all research gaps present in the use of NFRC for AM processes, and to overcome future challenges.

“…This challenge can be eliminated by injecting reactive plasticizers into the bio-composite. de Oliveira, de Macedo [ 85 ] have reported that composites in which cotton fibres were used as fillers demonstrated effective packaging potentials when compared to PLA or thermoplastic starch. The authors concluded from the result that the incorporation of 20% cotton fibre demonstrated better mechanical properties when compared to PLA.…”

Cotton Wastes Functionalized Biomaterials from Micro to Nano: A Cleaner Approach for a Sustainable Environmental Application

The exponential increase in textile cotton wastes generation and the ineffective processing mechanism to mitigate its environmental impact by developing functional materials with unique properties for geotechnical applications, wastewater, packaging, and biomedical engineering have become emerging global concerns among researchers. A comprehensive study of a processed cotton fibres isolation technique and their applications are highlighted in this review. Surface modification of cotton wastes fibre increases the adsorption of dyes and heavy metals removal from wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have demonstrated high adsorption capacity for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have found remarkable application in slope amendments, reinforcement of expansive soils and building materials, and a proven source for isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Several research work on the use of cotton waste for functional application rather than disposal has been done. However, no review study has discussed the potentials of cotton wastes from source (Micro-Nano) to application. This review critically analyses novel isolation techniques of CNC from cotton wastes with an in-depth study of a parameter variation effect on their yield. Different pretreatment techniques and efficiency were discussed. From the analysis, chemical pretreatment is considered the most efficient extraction of CNCs from cotton wastes. The pretreatment strategies can suffer variation in process conditions, resulting in distortion in the extracted cellulose’s crystallinity. Acid hydrolysis using sulfuric acid is the most used extraction process for cotton wastes-based CNC. A combined pretreatment process, such as sonication and hydrolysis, increases the crystallinity of cotton-based CNCs. The improvement of the reinforced matrix interface of textile fibres is required for improved packaging and biomedical applications for the sustainability of cotton-based CNCs.

“…Besides, bioplastics production is not cost-competitive nowadays with commodity traditional polymers, not due to the raw materials cost but rather their low volume production (Georgios et al 2016). The literature review show a vast amount of studies on biodegradable and biobased polymers, being these key to developing eco-friendly and sustainable packaging; PLA, (Mukherjee and Kao 2011;Arrieta et al 2014;Fortunati et al 2015;Yusoff et al 2016;Piekarska et al 2017;Komal et al 2020), starch (Famá et al 2009Vercelheze et al 2012;Bodirlau et al 2013;Versino and García 2014;López et al 2015;Merci et al 2019) and their combination with other bioplastics (Kaisangsri et al 2012(Kaisangsri et al , 2014De Oliveira et al 2019) are the most used matrices for green biocomposites.…”
