“…Flax and hemp are increasingly being used in the production of linen and sustainable fashion materials. In addition to textiles, the contemporary use of bast fibers has expanded to more diverse and technologically advanced applications [13]. In the automotive industry, these fibers are being used to create lightweight and strong composite materials for interior panels and upholstery.…”

This systematic review focuses on the exploration and advancement of sustainable and eco-friendly polymer composite materials derived from bast fibers. Bast fibers, obtained from the phloem of certain plants like flax, hemp, jute, and kenaf, represent a renewable and environmentally benign resource. Their integration into polymer based composites has gained significant attention due to the growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable material development. The importance of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of bast fibers as viable alternatives to the synthetic fibers in polymer composite materials. By harnessing the natural strength, light weight, and biodegradability of bast fibers, this review contributes to the creation of materials that are not only environmentally sustainable but also possess enhanced mechanical properties suitable for various industrial and domestic applications.

“…The current research findings show that the mechanical properties of Ethiopian bamboo polymer composites are equivalent or higher compared to the previous conventional automotive headliner and dashboard materials. Therefore, Ethiopian bamboo fiber polymer composites are used for the production of headliner and dashboard products in the automotive industry [17,26,33,34].…”

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the properties of Ethiopian bamboo fibre polymer composites as headliners in the automobile industry. Bamboo fibres are developed using the roll milling technique, and bamboo fibre epoxy composites (BFEPCS) are developed using a compression mould and a hot press machine. The mechanical properties are measured based on the recommended procedure of the ASTM. In total, 40% of the volume fraction of fibres is used to produce polymer composites. An accurate evaluation of its mechanical properties is thus critical for predicting its behaviour during a vehicle’s interior impact assessment. Conventional headliner materials are heavier, non-biodegradable, expensive, and non-sustainable during processing compared to the currently researched materials. Three representatives of bamboo plants are harvested in three regions of bamboo species, three groups of ages, and two harvesting months. Two-year-old bamboo fibres have the highest mechanical properties of all ages, and November has a higher mechanical properties compared to February. Inji-bara and Kom-bolcha have the highest and lowest mechanical properties, respectively. BFEPCs have high mechanical properties compared to BFPPCs. The mechanical properties of the current research findings have higher measured values compared to Jute felt PU, CFPU, GFMPU, BFPP, BFEP, PP foam, and TPU. The flexural strength of BFPCs has higher properties compared to their tensile strength. Ethiopian bamboo fibres and their polymer composites have the best mechanical properties for the composite industry, which is used for headliner materials in the automobile industry, compared to conventional headliner materials.
