“…Modest improvements have been achieved in comparison to traditional methods. The so-called bio-scouring process is currently still under development, also in large companies [24][25][26]. The presented research study focuses on the manufacture of natural fiber composites reinforced with microfibers from spelt and rice husks and rye brans, which are common cereals in Europe and Asia.…”

“…Enzyme (fungamix) in demineralized water with pH 7.5 was used. The tensile strength of modified abaca composites was found to be increased by 5-45% due to the modification (13). Enzyme use is usually combined with some of the matrix modification techniques (Fig.…”

-this article summarizes modification techniques of the most popular polyolefin composite reinforced with short natural fibers based on two interface modification strategies: filler modification and matrix modification by additives. According to analysis of published papers, it can be concluded that the fiber pretreatment does not result in higher improvement of the properties compared with adding coupling agent in the compounding process.

Abstract Extensive efforts have been made in the last decade for the development of natural fibre composites. This development paved the way for engineers and researchers to come up with natural fibre composites (NFCs) that exhibit better mechanical properties. The present review is based on the mechanical properties of jute, abaca, coconut, kenaf, sisal, and bamboo fibre-reinforced composites. Before selecting any NFC for a particular application, it becomes necessary to understand its compatibility for the same, which can be decided by knowing its mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. This review paper emphasises on the factors influencing the mechanical properties of NFCs like the type of matrix and fibre, interfacial adhesion, and compatibility between matrix and fibre. Efforts are also made to unveil the research gaps from the past literatures, as a result of which it is inferred that there is very limited work published in the field of vibration incorporating potential fillers such as red mud and fly ash with NFCs.
