“…These fibers come either from mammals (hairs) or from certain invertebrates, such as the silkworm. Animal fibers are most often found from wool-bearing animals, such as sheep and goats, and fur-bearing animals, such as rabbits, mink, and fox [ 38 , 39 ]. These protein fibers act as protection of cells, tissues and organisms and help to facilitate elasticity, scaffolding, and stabilization.…”

A Review on Natural Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer and Cement-Based Composites

The use of ecological materials for building and industrial applications contributes to minimizing the environmental impact of new technologies. In this context, the cement and geopolymer sectors are considering natural fibers as sustainable reinforcement for developing composites. Natural fibers are renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic, and they exhibit attractive mechanical properties in comparison with their synthetic fiber counterparts. However, their hydrophilic character makes them vulnerable to high volumes of moisture absorption, thus conferring poor wetting with the matrix and weakening the fiber–matrix interface. Therefore, modification and functionalization strategies for natural fibers to tailor interface properties and to improve the durability and mechanical behavior of cement and geopolymer-based composites become highly important. This paper presents a review of the physical, chemical and biological pre-treatments that have been performed on natural fibers, their results and effects on the fiber–matrix interface of cement and geopolymer composites. In addition, the degradation mechanisms of natural fibers used in such composites are discussed. This review finalizes with concluding remarks and recommendations to be addressed through further in-depth studies in the field.

“…[1][2][3] The natural fibers offer several pro's against man-made glass and carbon fibers, such as low density, nonabrasive toward tools and equipments, low energy consumption, renewable, and possess low health risk properties. [4][5] These natural fibers are available in different forms, such as leaf (banana, sisal, abaca), bast (kenaf, jute, hemp), fruit (oil palm, coir), seed (milkweed, kapok), grass (bagasse, bamboo), and wood fibers. They can be effectively employed as cheap and lightweight reinforcements in the fields of automotive industries, infrastructure and construction sectors, consumer goods, and sports goods.…”

The use of bio-fiber-based hybrid composites in various commercial engineering applications is increasing day by day due to their biodegradability and versatile characteristics. Hence, in the present research investigation, an attempt has been made to scrutinize the mongrelizing possessions under different laminate stacking arrangement concerning Phoenix pusilla fibers (PPFs)/E-glass woven/ carbon woven fabric-reinforced epoxy composite laminates through the studies of density, void fraction, and different mechanical strength behavior evaluation of five resulting diverse hybrid composite laminates. The hybrid laminates were prepared by manual hand lay-up technique. The scrutinization of physical and mechanical properties and the study of fractured surfaces specify noteworthy improvement in density, void fraction, tensile properties, flexural properties, and microhardness properties of PPFs/E-glass/carbon fabrics-reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. The overall results conferred that the composite laminates fabricated in the present study could be potentially used in medium load structural applications.

“…In case of structural and engineering materials, fiber reinforced composites have been broadly used from recent few decades. To produce fiber reinforced polymer composite synthetic or natural fiber used as discontinuous phase and polymer used as continuous phase, common synthetic fiber like glass, carbon, aramid has been often used in aerospace industries due to their low density, high stiffness and high strength properties [2] [3]. Although synthetic fiber possesses some very good properties, they are not good enough for biodegradability, recyclability, initial processing cost and health hazards compared to natural fiber [3].…”

Natural fiber reinforced composite materials are replacing the conventional materials, owing to their excellent physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Also they increase biodegradability, reduce cost and decrease environmental pollution and hazards. In this study, obsolete high density polyethylene (HDPE) has used as polymer matrix and banana fiber as reinforcement material. Composites (5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of fiber contents) were made by hot press molding method by using Paul-Otto Weber Hydraulic press machine. The physical, mechanical and thermal properties of banana fiber-HDPE composites were studied and investigated the increment or decrement nature of different properties due to addition of banana fiber in BF-HDPE composites. The bulk density of composites increased with the increase wt. (%) of fiber content in composites. Water absorption ability of banana fiber and BF-HDPE composites also increased with the increase of wt. (%) of fiber content in composites and with socking time. Tensile strength of the BF-HDPE composites increased with the increase of fiber content in both cases (continuous aligned fiber orientation and continuous bidirectional fiber orientation). Moreover, the tensile strength of BF-HDPE composites with continuous aligned fiber orientation was greater than that of continuous bidirectional fiber orientation. At first, the flexural strength increased for 5% BF-HDPE composites then the value decreased for other higher compositions. The flexural strength of continuous aligned fiber orientation was slightly greater than that of continuous bidirectional fiber orientation and composite with 5% banana fiber showed better flexural properties than others. Leeb's rebound hardness decreased with the increase of fiber addition.
