“…Fibre breaking during compounding and combining is a key issue in the manufacture of NFRCs. In addition to the finer aspect ratio and orientation of natural fibres, the manufacturing technique utilized to manufacture NFRCs has a significant impact on the reinforcement effect of filler [113]. Fibre breaking happens at all stages of IM of NFRCs, as mentioned above.…”

Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is readily available in all regions. Cellulosic plant fibres also have a plethora of possibilities for use in polymer reinforcement because of their properties. Many researchers put their effort into developing a natural polymer with better mechanical properties and thermal stability using nanotechnology and the use of natural polymers to make its composites with lignocellulosic fibres. This study provides a review of the biodegradable composite market, processing methods, matrix-reinforcement phases, morphology, and characteristic improvements. In addition, it provides a concise summary of the findings of significant research on natural fibre polymer composites (NFRCs) that have been published. Indeed, a noticeably brief discussion is provided on the significant issues faced during composite extraction as well as the challenges encountered during the machining. Recent developments in the study of lignocellulosic fibre composites or NFRCs have demonstrated their enormous potential as structural elements in vehicles, aerospace structures, buildings, ballistics, soundproofing, and other structures.

“…The average diameter of particles provides a representation of the central tendency within the particle size distribution, offering insight into the "typical" or "central" particle size found in that distribution. 27,28 In contrast, the standard deviation serves as a measure of dispersion, quantifying how much individual data points deviate from the mean. The relationship between the average diameter (mean) and the standard deviation is crucial for characterizing the shape of the particle size distribution.…”

By focusing on the natural cellulose microfiller derived from leftover cakes in the oil mills, researchers have the opportunity to develop and investigate novel materials that can potentially revolutionize the field of lightweight structures. This research work focuses on the development of lightweight hybrid polymeric composites using a combination of novel materials derived from linseed oil cake biomass waste and unidirectional flax fibers with epoxy polymeric matrices. It also explores the potential of linseed oil cake biomass waste as a valuable source of cellulose fillers for reinforcement in polymer composites, providing an alternative to traditional synthetic fillers. In this work, the extracted cellulose was made into a composite using a polymeric matrix (epoxy resin), and its mechanical as well as acoustical characteristics were studied to determine its suitability for various applications. The primary aim was to enhance the mechanical properties and reduce the weight of the composites for potential applications in lightweight structures, including automotive components, aerospace structures, and other industries where weight reduction is crucial without compromising the mechanical performance. Evidence of cellulose crystallinity and α‐cellulose was apparent, as indicated by the higher intensity peaks observed at 2θ = 22.10°, corresponding to the 002 crystallographic planes. The thermogravimetric analysis showed a minimum mass loss of 4.12% occurring at 309.16°C. The sample with 7.5 wt% linseed oil cake cellulose in the flax composite exhibited the highest values for various properties, including a tensile strength of 77.62 MPa, a flexural strength of 115.62 MPa, and an impact strength of 35.5 kJ/m2. For hardness and sound absorption properties, the sample with 10 wt% linseed oil cake cellulose in the flax composite exhibited the highest values (approximately 102 Sd) and a noise reduction coefficient value of 0.329. These findings suggest that combining cellulose with unidirectional flax fibers can make them suitable for various applications, such as structural components in the automotive industry, building materials, and biodegradable and eco‐friendly products.Highlights Researchers used linseed oil cake cellulose for lightweight composites. Novel materials hybridized linseed oil cake cellulose and flax fibers. The material is a potential alternative to synthetic fillers in polymer composites. The material can enhance mechanical properties for automotive, aerospace use. The material has yielded promising results in tensile, flexural, impact strength, and sound absorption.
