“…It is, therefore, necessary to increase the adhesion strength between fibers and matrix [22]. Chemical (e.g., alkaline, silane, esterification, isocyanate treatment) or physical (e.g., plasma treatment), physicochemical or biological treatments can be used for surface modification of natural fibers [23,24]. Green composites are polymer composites based on biopolymer matrix and natural fillers [16].…”

Polymer composites are widely used modern-day materials, specially designed to combine good mechanical properties and low density, resulting in a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. However, materials for outdoor use suffer from the negative effects of environmental factors, loosing properties in various degrees. In particular, natural fillers (particulates or fibers) or components induce biodegradability in the otherwise bio inert matrix of usual commodity plastics. Here we present some aspects found in recent literature related to the effect of aggressive factors such as temperature, mechanical forces, solar radiation, humidity, and biological attack on the properties of plastic composites containing natural fillers.
