“…Because of this, it is necessary to dry the fibres before they are fed into the processing equipment or during processing. It is also important to handle and store dry fibres carefully to avoid moisture absorption and particle eruptions [105]. The amount of fibre content must be closely regulated since they are dried during processing.…”

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.

“…To manufacture these composites with improved compatibility and mutual adhesion of the reinforcing natural fiber/matrix polymer, the following three processes are being used, and combinations of these processes have also been used: (i) Fiber treatment process, wherein, treatments, like chemical or physical or biological are imparted to the natural fibers to improve their compatibility with the matrix polymer in the composites. Reviews of physical, 4,5 chemical 4 and biological 4 treatments of this process have been recently presented. Several treatments have been imparted to functionalize natural fibers [6][7][8][9][10][11] for their use as reinforcements for polymer composites.…”

In view of no reports on natural fiber reinforced functionalized styrene acrylonitrile composites, this study develops kenaf fiber (KNF) reinforced chemically functionalized styrene acrylonitrile (CF-SAN) composites (KNF/CF-SAN) by extrusion and injection molding. The selected CF-SAN matrix is a chemically functionalized random ter-polymer, with high (10 ± 2%) maleic anhydride functionality and requires higher processing temperature. With respect to CF-SAN, the 10/90, 20/80 and 30/70 KNF/CF-SAN composites show 25%, 46% and 75% higher tensile modulus, 23%, 55% and 78% higher tensile strength, 34%, 66% and 104% higher flexural modulus and 48%, 87% and 125% higher flexural strength. Relative to the dry matrix, the water absorbed composites show higher properties, but relative to the respective dry composites, the water absorbed composites have at least 7% lower tensile strength and at least 20% lower tensile modulus, flexural modulus and flexural strength. SEM and FTIR (ATR-IR) establish that hydrogen bonding and esterification by Palsule process impart CF-SAN/KNF adhesion and bonding in the composites. The composites show thermal stability between KNF reinforcement and CF-SAN matrix upto 295°C.

“…In addition, biofibers are repurposed from agro-industrial by-products and residues, thereby increasing the economic viability of vegetable fibers as fillers. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Various natural biofibers are applied as reinforcements or fillers in polymeric matrices, including cotton linter fibers in polymer composites. [10][11][12] Cotton linter is a vegetable fiber consisting of a textile by-product rich in cellulose that remains attached to the tegument after separating long cotton fibers from the seed.…”

Hybrid polymer composites have been proven to be an alternative to the conventional ones that use only one filler in the polymeric matrix. In this study, the effect of the addition of cotton linter fibers (CLF) and/or montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as fillers in recycled polyethylene (PER) composites was evaluated with and without using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE– g–MAH) as an interfacial compatibilizing agent. The presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) used as a color additive was confirmed by the characterizations of PER. It was found that the rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties of PER were significantly altered by adding fillers, owing to the difference in shape and composition of these fillers. The results of the characterizations showed evidence of double or triple interaction with the reactive groups of PE– g–MAH and the hydroxyl (–OH) present in CLF, MMT, and TiO2.
