Development of natural fiber composites with thermoplastics and thermosets finds applications in various fields, from agriculture to automotive. It can reduce the dependency on petroleum resources which causes several environmental problems. Natural fibers are renewable and biodegradable that reduces carbon footprint to the environment. Coir fibers are natural fibers used in the development of composites offers comparable properties with other mineral fillers. This article reviews different methods of coir fiber modification include alkali treatment, silane treatment, hydrogen peroxide treatment, sodium hypochlorite treatment, sodium periodate treatment coupled with p‐aminophenol and urea, treatment with benzene diazonium salt and maleated coupling agent. It also reviews composites of coir fiber with thermoplastic, rubber and thermoset plastics. Hybrid composites based on coir fiber are also being discussed. Thermoplastic composites such as biodegradable (PLA, PBS) and petroleum‐based polymers (PE, PP) and thermoset polymers include polyurethane, epoxy and polyester based composites also reviewed. Degradation and biodegradation studies were reviewed in the case of biodegradable polymers. Hybrid fibers of coir with other natural and mineral fibers have recently been used in composite industry has also been reviewed. All these composites show better properties. It can be used in different applications in the field of automobile, building and construction, consumer products and furniture. POLYM.

“…They reported a significant improvement in tensile, flexural, and compressive strengths after NaOH treatments of coir fibers. Likewise, Wong et al reported an improvement in impact strength upon reinforcement with CF in E‐glass/coir/polyester hybrid composites, due the ability of CF to dissipate impact energy. Also, an improvement in properties was reported by Asim et al for PALF/kenaf/phenolic resin hybrid composites upon addition of fibers.…”

Mechanical, dynamic, and thermomechanical properties of coir/pineapple leaf fiber reinforced polylactic acid hybrid biocomposites

Natural fiber‐based polymer composites have been widely studied to substitute synthetic materials. In this research, pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) and coir fibers (CF) were loaded into a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix to develop composite materials with improved mechanical and thermal properties, which could be potentially applied as biodegradable food packaging. Biocomposites with different fiber ratios were manufactured using an internal mixer plasticizer and a hot press machine. Mechanical and thermal analyses of the obtained composites were carried out and the results were compared with those of pure PLA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the microstructural failure of the composites. Mechanical tests indicated that all the composites had higher tensile and flexural modulus, compared to those of neat PLA. Also, strength values were increased upon addition of PALF, while impact tests showed enhanced strength results upon addition of CF. SEM findings confirmed the outcomes of the mechanical tests. DMA results confirmed that the storage and loss moduli of the CF/PALF/PLA hybrid composites increased with respect to those of the neat PLA, whereas the tan δ decreased. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the PLA composites decreased with the addition of fiber reinforcements. Based on the results achieved in this investigation, the hybrid composite containing CF and PALF in a 1:1 ratio (C1P1) presented the optimum set of mechanical properties and improved thermal stability, which make it suitable for applications such as food packaging and structure components to help reduce the environmental loads.

A new numerical simulation method was proposed to predict the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced resin composites under low‐velocity impact load. The impact damage evolution can be characterized in the form of energy dissipation which can be calculated through the new numerical model. The evolution mechanism of delamination was analyzed through distinguishing between the normal induced delamination and tangential slip induced delamination. The drop weight tests were conducted on composite laminates with five kinds of stacking sequence. Experimental analysis was also presented in this article. The damage area and distribution was investigated through ultrasonic C‐scan. The prediction had a good agreement with the experimental results through the comparison of impact response. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 44374.
