Increasing global environmental problems and awareness towards the utilization of eco-friendly resources enhanced the progress of research towards the development of next-generation biodegradable and environmentally friendly material. The development of natural-based composite material has led to various advantages such as a reduction in greenhouse gases and carbon footprints. In spite of the various advantages obtained from green materials, there are also a few disadvantages, such as poor interfacial compatibility between the polymer matrix and natural reinforcements and the high hydrophilicity of composites due to the reinforcement of hydrophilic natural fibers. This review focuses on various moisture-absorbing and sound-absorbing natural fiber polymer composites along with the synopsis of preparation methods of natural fiber polymer composites. It was stated in various studies that natural fibers are durable with a long life but their moisture absorption behavior depends on various factors. Such natural fibers possess different moisture absorption behavior rates and different moisture absorption behavior. The conversion of hydrophilic fibers into hydrophobic is deemed very important in improving the mechanical, thermal, and physical properties of the natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites. One more physical property that requires the involvement of natural fibers in place of synthetic fibers is the sound absorption behavior. Various researchers have made experiments using natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites as sound-absorbing materials. It was found from various studies that composites with higher thickness, porosity, and density behaved as better sound-absorbing materials.

“…These findings showed that pine needles might be a good candidate for natural fibre reinforced polymer composites. [27][28][29] Characteristics of pineapple leaf powder reinforced epoxy composites has been studied. It was found that tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, and hardness of the composites increased as the filler content increased.…”

Demand for natural fibers has increased in recent years due to the requirement for biodegradable materials. Owing to the increasing awareness on the overuse and over-dumping of plastics in the environment, the current work focused on a solution by using tree leaves as a particulate reinforcement which is one of the common waste products of trees. In this regard, Norfolk pine (NOP) tree leaf particulates filled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) composites were fabricated through injection moulding technique with different filler weight % of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 wt. %. The study of the crystalline structure of the fillers and the detection of functional compounds in the materials were carried out through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDX) analysis. Tensile strength, compressive strength, and flexural strength of the fabricated composite specimens were also assessed. Results revealed that the mechanical properties of the 30 wt. % pine tree leaf-filled HDPE composites were found to be superior when compared to pure HDPE composites. The failure surface morphology of the composite samples was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The melting point and decomposition of 30 wt. % NOP leaf particulate-filled HDPE composites specimen, whose mechanical properties were higher, were examined using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the results, it was found that NOP fillers can be used as an effective reinforcement in polymer composites.
