The purpose of this review is to survey, categorize, and compare the mechanical and thermal characteristics of fibers in order to assist designers with the selection of fibers for inclusion as reinforcing materials in the additive manufacturing process. The vast “family of fibers” is described with a Venn diagram to highlight natural, synthetic, organic, ceramic, and mineral categories. This review explores the history and practical uses of particular fiber types and explains fiber production methods in general terms. The focus is on short-cut fibers including staple fibers, chopped strands, and whiskers added to polymeric matrix resins to influence the bulk properties of the resulting printed materials. This review discusses common measurements for specific strength and tenacity in the textile and construction industries, including denier and tex, and discusses the proposed “yuri” measurement unit. Individual fibers are selected from subcategories and compared in terms of their mechanical and thermal properties, i.e., density, tensile strength, tensile stiffness, flexural rigidity, moisture regain, decomposition temperature, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity. This review concludes with an example of the successful 3D printing of a large boat at the University of Maine and describes considerations for the selection of specific individual fibers used in the additive manufacturing process.

Due to their unique characteristics, natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have recently been increasingly utilised to replace traditional materials. Fire retardant resins can increase flammability, and they have a deleterious influence on the mechanical properties of the material (Fan et al., 2020). As a result, this experiment examined the flammability of woven jute fiber reinforced with fly ash. The specimens were created by hand layup using a L9 orthogonal array and varying ratios of jute fiber, fly ash, and time for chemical fiber treatment. Vertical and horizontal flammability tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D635 and ASTM D3801, respectively. According to the test results, the inclusion of fly ash significantly reduces flammability. In this work, 5 wt% inclusion of the jute fiber, 15 wt% addition of the fly ash, and with 10 hours, NaOH treatment produces a composite with minimum burning rates of 10.2 mm/min in horizontal UL-94 tests. To determine the link between input and output characteristics, various regression models from machine learning are used. Multilayer perception produced a stronger association in both horizontal and vertical testing, according to the models.

“…New advanced, efficient, and abundant resources of non-wood-based fibers from agricultural waste such as straw, hemp, grass, etc. ; biomass; non-wood plant species; and low-grade animal fibers can be considered as a profitable and sustainable alternative to overcome the shortage of conventional fibers and reduce deforestation [7][8][9][10].…”

In the EU, sheep bred for dairy and meat purposes are of low quality, their economic value is not even enough to cover shearing costs, and their wool is generally seen as a useless by-product of sheep farming, resulting in large illegal disposal or landfilling. In order to minimize environmental and health-related problems considering elemental compositions of discarded materials such as waste wool, there is a need to recycle and reuse waste materials to develop sustainable innovative technologies and transformation processes to achieve sustainable manufacturing. This study aims to examine the application of waste wool in biocomposite production with the help of a sustainable hydrolysis process without any chemicals and binding material. The impact of superheated water hydrolysis and mixing hydrolyzed wool fibers with kraft pulp on the performance of biocomposite was investigated and characterized using SEM, FTIR, tensile strength, DSC, TGA, and soil burial testing in comparison with 100% kraft pulp biocomposite. The superheated water hydrolysis process increases the hydrophilicity and homogeneity and contributes to increasing the speed of biodegradation. The biocomposite is entirely self-supporting, provides primary nutrients for soil nourishment, and is observed to be completely biodegradable when buried in the soil within 90 days. Among temperatures tested for superheated water hydrolysis of raw wool, 150 °C seems to be the most appropriate for the biocomposite preparation regarding physicochemical properties of wool and suitability for wool mixing with cellulose. The combination of a sustainable hydrolysis process and the use of waste wool in manufacturing an eco-friendly, biodegradable paper/biocomposite will open new potential opportunities for the utilization of waste wool in agricultural and packaging applications and minimize environmental impact.
