“…The former is mainly useful for flat surfaces with small curvature while laying defects (tape folds or tears) can occur when dealing with complex surfaces with high curvature [137]. Therefore, compared to the ATL technique, AFP provides better structural performance in manufacturing concave or double curvature and variable angle tow laminates with curvilinear fiber paths, owing to the multiple degrees of freedom of its fiber placement head [138]. More importantly, almost all AFP systems can deposit composites approximately at the rate of 6000 cm/min, however, even these can go up to 7500 cm/min, by optimizing the process parameters [87].…”

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) are being widely used in aerospace, marine, automotive, and healthcare applications due to their sustainability, low cost and ecofriendly nature. The NFRPCs manufactured through conventional, and computer controlled intelligent manufacturing techniques may contain internal and external defects. Traditionally, the microstructure of NFRPCs at different stages of manufacturing was obtained using destructive techniques which have stringent sample size restrictions and may cause decrease in residual properties of composites due to destructive scanning. However, these complications can be overcome by using non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. This review highlights the impact of NDE and AI on the improvement of emerging manufacturing systems. We have discussed the classification of biocomposites, their manufacturing techniques, recyclability and strategies to improve mechanical properties. Further, the use of different types of contact and non-contact NDE techniques in understanding the microstructural variations during manufacturing, machining and the parameters that effects the mechanical performance of NFRPCs

Because of its inherent properties, the use of thermoplastic composites is expanding in a number of industries, including aerospace, rail transportation, and wind power generation. However, the development of 2D and 3D reinforced thermoplastic composite structures is hampered by the high viscosity and poor wetting of thermoplastic matrices, resulting in their application being mainly limited to nonload‐bearing components. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the technology and current applications of thermoplastic composites, covering materials, preform structures, manufacturing methods, process parameters, performance, and applications. It also provides an outlook on their future development.Highlights Thermoplastic composite has economic and environmental benefits. Summarized the current technology and application of thermoplastic composites. The manufacturing difficulty is the thermoplastic polymers wet fibers. One promising approach to the issue is prepreg technology. Prepreg technology make 3D thermoplastic composites become possible.
