“…[23] As the natural protein fibers inherently come with higher moisture properties and flame retardancy, the fabrication of biobased PAN/proteinaceous composite fibers might be a potential solution to the problems mentioned above associated with the pure synthetic PAN fibers in the textilebased applications. [24] Among many other fiber-spinning techniques, the wet spinning technique is used to produce the synthetic and composite fibers. [11] Since the 1930s, this process is commercially applied in the textile industry for the production of fibers in a large scale.…”

The study examined the effect of different wet spinning parameters (e.g., total solid content, coagulation bath concentration, drawing, and stretching) on the morphology and mechanical properties of the wet spun alpaca/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite fibers. The alpaca/PAN composite fibers were wet spun using 10, 20, and 30% of alpaca particles along with the PAN polymer. The shear‐thinning or non‐Newtonian flow behavior was observed among the dope solutions with different solid content. The cross‐sectional fiber morphology showed the bean‐shaped characteristic for the control PAN fibers, whereas the alpaca/PAN composite fibers exhibited almost circular shape. “Cavity healing” was observed, where noticeable voids and porous areas were demolished in the cross section of the composite fibers, by changing the total solid content and coagulation bath concentration. Although the control PAN fibers exhibited the highest tenacity with lower fiber diameter, the alpaca/PAN composite fibers showed a gradual deterioration in tenacity while adding alpaca particles into the PAN polymeric matrix. Nevertheless, due to the increment in the total solid content, higher draw ratio, and stretching of the fibers, the tenacity, molecular orientation, and the crystallinity of the composite fibers were increased.

“…This depletion of particle size might be due to the intermediate attritor milling process which has been performed before the conversion of LGSNP to LGSDP. 21 The attritor mill vessel contains impellers and ceramic balls which rotate at 280 rpm during milling. Hence, the breakdown of the particle size is attributed to the impellers and ceramic balls.…”

“…Additionally, d (0.1) and d (0.9) mean that 10% and 90% of the tested particles were smaller than the presented size. 21 Error bars were neglected owing to the Mastersizer 2000 powder samples measurements having insignicant variation in d (0.5) measurements. The morphology of membranes was scanned using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Zeiss Supra 55VP).…”

“…After energy production, which contributes greatly to carbon emissions, the textile and fashion industry is considered the second most polluting industry due to generating huge amounts of wastewater, and tonnes of textile waste that is directly buried in landfills or incinerated [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In the textile industry, production of fibres plays a major role, where fibres are classified as synthetic or man-made fibres and natural fibres.…”

“…On the other hand, natural fibres are fabricated from natural resources such as plants and animals, which are easily available, biodegradable, biocompatible and renewable [5,[9][10][11]. The textile fibres are currently not only used in the traditional clothing and fashion industry but in the other industries or sectors, such as automobile, aircraft, marine, sports, and agriculture industries [1,2,12]. To satisfy these various application areas, the global production and use of synthetic fibres is significantly greater than that of natural fibres, with the view that the physicochemical properties of synthetic fibres can be modified based on the final application and the product's end-use requirement [5,13].…”

The increasing global environmental concerns and awareness of renewable green resources is continuously expanding the demand for eco-friendly, sustainable and biodegradable natural fibre reinforced composites (NFRCs). Natural fibres already occupy an important place in the composite industry due to their excellent physicochemical and mechanical properties. Natural fibres are biodegradable, biocompatible, eco-friendly and created from renewable resources. Therefore, they are extensively used in place of expensive and non-renewable synthetic fibres, such as glass fibre, carbon fibre and aramid fibre, in many applications. Additionally, the NFRCs are used in automobile, aerospace, personal protective clothing, sports and medical industries as alternatives to the petroleum-based materials. To that end, in the last few decades numerous studies have been carried out on the natural fibre reinforced composites to address the problems associated with the reinforcement fibres, polymer matrix materials and composite fabrication techniques in particular. There are still some drawbacks to the natural fibre reinforced composites (NFRCs)—for example, poor interfacial adhesion between the fibre and the polymer matrix, and poor mechanical properties of the NFRCs due to the hydrophilic nature of the natural fibres. An up-to-date holistic review facilitates a clear understanding of the behaviour of the composites along with the constituent materials. This article intends to review the research carried out on the natural fibre reinforced composites over the last few decades. Furthermore, up-to-date encyclopaedic information about the properties of the NFRCs, major challenges and potential measures to overcome those challenges along with their prospective applications have been exclusively illustrated in this review work. Natural fibres are created from plant, animal and mineral-based sources. The plant-based cellulosic natural fibres are more economical than those of the animal-based fibres. Besides, these pose no health issues, unlike mineral-based fibres. Hence, in this review, the NFRCs fabricated with the plant-based cellulosic fibres are the main focus.
