“…In order to promote a sustainable society, it is not desirable to bolster the bio-based plastics with inorganic materials. However, many of these natural fibres possess favourable specific properties due to their low densities (Duhovic et al, 2009). Furthermore, these plant based fibres have the advantages of being cheap, having acceptable mechanical properties and biodegradable.…”

“…Numerous studies on the composites of flax fiber/polypropylene have been conducted. However, these researches concentrated on various variables, natural fiber thermoplastic mat (NMT) and glass fiber thermoplastic mat (GMT) comparison [ 229 ], the effect of glass fiber hybridization and fiber/matrix modification [ 230 ], the influence of fiber treatment on crystallization and thermal properties [ 110 ], surface treatment influence on the interface by thermoplastic starch, glycerol triacetate, boiled flax yarn, and -methacryl oxypropyl trimethoxy-silane [ 231 ], matrices comparison (PP and PLA) on the properties of composites [ 111 ], material and processing parameters effects [ 232 ], and processing methods influence [ 233 ]. Buttlar [ 234 ] reported the viability of flax fiber composite applications in the bus and automotive industries.…”

Increasing scientific interest has occurred concerning the utilization of natural fiber-enhanced hybrid composites that incorporate one or more types of natural enhancement. Annual natural fiber production is estimated to be 1,783,965 × 103 tons/year. Extensive studies have been conducted in the domains of natural/synthetic as well as natural/natural hybrid composites. As synthetic fibers have better rigidity and strength than natural fibers, natural/synthetic hybrid composites have superior qualities via hybridization compared to natural composites in fibers. In general, natural fiber compounds have lower characteristics, limiting the use of natural composites reinforced by fiber. Significant effort was spent in enhancing the mechanical characteristics of this group of materials to increase their strengths and applications, especially via the hybridization process, by manipulating the characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite materials. Current studies concentrate on enhancing the understanding of natural fiber-matrix adhesion, enhancing processing methods, and natural fiber compatibility. The optimal and resilient conceptions have also been addressed due to the inherently more significant variabilities. Moreover, much research has tackled natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite costs. In addition, this review article aims to offer a review of the variables that lead to the mechanical and structural failure of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites, as well as an overview of the details and costings of the composites.

“…Natural fibres as reinforcement to PLA matrix can be regarded as an ideal alternative to increase the mechanical performance of the composites as well as making it environmentally friendly. There are many natural fibres that have been studied to reinforce polymers, such as kenaf (Ochi 2008), hemp (Masirek et al 2007), jute (Gupta et al 2016), flax (Duhovic et al 2009), and wheat straw (Ghaffar et al 2017;Chougan et al 2020). Among natural fibres available, it can be argued that bamboo fibres are the most suitable candidate as reinforcement for PLA matrix due to their favorable properties Liu et al 2018;Long et al 2019;Chen et al 2020;Wang et al 2017;Zhang et al 2020;Zuo et al 2020).…”

Reinforcement with natural fibres is a common method to improve impact properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In this study, composites made from PLA and bamboo particles were melt-compounded in a twin-screw extruder and formed by compression moulding. Tensile, flexural, and impact tests were conducted. Particle size (A), particle loading (B), screw speed (C), and die temperature (D) were varied at three levels. Tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus, and impact strength were the response variables. The experiment design was based on Taguchi’s (L9) orthogonal array. Through variance analysis, the particle loading was found to be the dominant factor influencing the mechanical properties, followed by die temperature. The optimum parameters were validated with a confirmation test. The results showed a noticeable improvement of impact properties compared to neat PLA by 55%, without compromising tensile and flexural properties. Flexural strength, flexural modulus, and tensile modulus of the composites were greater than that of pure PLA. However, only tensile strength was reduced by about 28% compared to pure PLA. Importantly, the DOE method with maximizing the desirability properties was found to be an effective systematic approach to identify an optimal parameter setting of the extrusion moulding process.
