“…For example, the turning process is not cost-effective because of high tool wear, in addition to poor surface finish [ 1 ]. Another example of an inefficient process is ultrasonic machining because it is a very slow process caused by the relatively low material removal rate, and it is relatively expensive and unsuitable for quantitative production [ 11 , 12 ]. Since composite materials are manufactured close to the final shape [ 9 , 11 ], the commonly used cutting processes for making holes, trimming or making profiles are covered in this study.…”

“…[ 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Although the NFRP composites are manufactured near-net shape, they still need some final cutting processes to reach the shape required such as drilling, cutting, and trimming processes [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Composite materials do not behave like conventional materials under different cutting processes, because of their different properties.…”

Recently, natural fiber-reinforced polymers (NFRPs) have become important materials in many engineering applications; thus, to employ these materials some final industrial processes are needed, such as cutting, trimming, and drilling. Because of the heterogeneous nature of NFRPs, which differs from homogeneous materials such as metals and polymers, several defects have emerged when processing the NFRPs through traditional cutting methods such as high surface roughness and material damage at cutting zone. In order to overcome these challenges, unconventional cutting methods were considered. Unconventional cutting methods did not take into account the effects of cutting forces, which are the main cause of cutting defects in traditional cutting processes. The most prominent unconventional cutting processes are abrasive waterjet (AWJM) and laser beam (LBM) cutting technologies, which are actually applied for cutting various NFRPs. In this study, previously significant studies on cutting NFRPs by AWJM and LBM are discussed. The surface roughness, kerf taper, and heat-affected zone (HAZ) represent the target output parameters that are influenced and controlled by the input parameters of each process. However, this topic requires further studies on widening the range of material thickness and input parameter values.

“…There are also studies on the effect of geometry and shape of drill bit on drilled hole quality in NFRPCs. However, there are no significant reviews on the effects of material optimization, such as matrix material selection, fiber types, fiber orientation and fiber treatment, on the drillability of NRFCs that have been carried out in the past three years, except those by Nassar et al, 20 Rajmohan et al 21 and Lotfi et al 22 Based on recently published literature, there are not many reviews on the drilling of NFRPCs. In 2017, Nassar et al 20 reviewed some of the critical factors involved in the machinability of NFRPCs.…”

In recent years, with greater emphasis on environmental and sustainability aspects of engineering materials, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) have gained significance in practical applications because of their numerous advantages. Although many researchers have developed NFRPCs using various types of natural fibers and matrix materials, in real-world applications of NFRPCs, secondary operations, such as milling and drilling, are necessary to complete the components or parts assembly. Because the drilling of NFRPCs is different from drilling of metals, there are concentration of studies interested in the aspects of drillability of NFRPCs in order to assess and understand issues related to drilled hole quality in NFRPCs. In this paper, a comprehensive review of factors that affect the drilled hole quality in NFRPCs is presented. Past researches where correlation between the manufacturing methods of NFRPCs and drillability of the composites are reported are reviewed in-depth. The novelty of this review is that it identifies the major factors that affect the quality of the drilled features from a composite manufacturing perspective and provides recommendations for the best NFRPCs manufacturing process to produce drill-friendly composites. The major factors were classified into composite manufacturing factors and drilling parameters factors.

“…The major constituents used for processing a composite are the matrix and the reinforcement. 13 As the researches on green fibres are extensively made in the past, researchers are now focussing on the availability, process ability and ease of usage of different green resins extracted from various sources as a potential matrix element for the composites.…”

The research on polymeric composites is always in the stage of enhancing the properties. Several researches have been explored in recent decades to investigate the behaviour of both man-made fibre and bio-fibre-reinforced composites. In all these works, an artificial polymeric resin has been utilized as the matrix and it has been revealed that though they provide competent properties, the composites are partially degradable. To enhance the degradability to the fullest extent, both the reinforcements and the matrix must be biodegradable and this could be achieved only if both are derived from natural sources. During the synthesis of a bio-resin, a series of treatments must be followed to make it in to a usable form. The present work addresses a comprehensive survey about various bio-resins, their applications, various synthesis methods followed and the challenges faced during incorporation of reinforcement during composite formulation. The work also gives a clear picture on the challenges faced during characterization of green resin-based composites.
