RbstractThe need to develop and commercialize materials containing vegetal fibers has grown in order to reduce environmental impact and reach sustainability. Large amounts of lignocellulosic materials are generated around the world from several human activities. The lignocellulosic materials are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, extractives and ashes. Recently these constituents have been used in different applications; in particular, cellulose has been the subject of numerous works on the development of composite materials reinforced with natural fibers. Many studies have led to composite materials reinforced with fibers to improve the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. Furthermore, lignocellulosic materials have been treated to apply in innovative solutions for efficient and sustainable systems. This paper aims to review the lignocellulosic fibers characteristics, as well as to present their applications as reinforcement in composites of different polymeric matrices.

“…9, SEM image of 10C20G sample shows some voids on matrix surface, fiber pull-out and breakage of matrix. Harish et al [10] state that some voids on matrix surface are caused by fiber pull-out. which indicates a low interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix.…”

“…Wambua et al [9] found that coir fiber/polypropylene composite has lower mechanical properties than sisal, kenaf hemp and jute fiber composites, with the exception of the impact strength is higher than jute and kenaf composite. Coir reinforced epoxy composite was investigated by Harish et al [10]. Their results show that all strength values (tensile, flexural and impact strengths) of coir/epoxy composite are lower than glass/epoxy composite laminate.…”

Abstract-Natural fiber composites have been developed and taken more attention in the last decades. Coir fiber is the natural fiber which has been used as reinforcement of composites. This fiber is hybridized with glass fiber for reinforcement composite. In this paper, coir rope and glass fibers were combined as reinforcement into hybrid composites with unsaturated polyester resin as matrix. The composition of fibers and matrix into hybrid composites are used 30:70 (volume fraction) with unsaturated polyester. Volume fractions of coir rope mat and glass fiber mat in hybrid composites are 10:20, 15:15 and 20:10 respectively. The mechanical properties of the coir rope-glass fiber composite hybrid were described in this paper. Their properties include tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact energy and impact strength. Fractography of tensile composite hybrid is also analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope.

“…Tensile, impact and flexural strengths of coir/epoxy composites were evaluated with the average values of 17.86 MPa, 11.49 kJ/m 2 and 31.08 MPa respectively. These values have lower than glass reinforced composite laminate [7]. The tensile strength of coir reinforced composites was also tested and found lower its value.…”

Abstract-Natural fibers have been developed as reinforcement of composite to shift synthetic fibers. One of potential natural fibers developed is coir fiber. This paper aims to describe potential coir fiber as reinforcement of composite for small wind turbine blade application. The research shows that mechanical properties ( tensile, impact, shear, flexural and compression strengths) of coir fiber composite have really similar to wood properties for small wind turbine blade material, but inferior to glass fiber composite properties. The effect of weathering was also evaluated to coir fiber composite in this paper.
