“…The impact strength of the neat epoxy system is 28.12 MPa, and the incorporation of fabrics into the epoxy matrix reduced the impact strength. The drop in impact strength suggests unfavorable interfacial interactions between the fabrics and epoxy matrix [ 34 ]. On the other hand, for the composites, the impact strength is retained even after the weathering test and the obtained impact strength values are more than the neat epoxy system.…”

Epoxy-based biocomposites are a good alternative for metals in lightweight applications. This research has been focused on the effect of accelerated weathering on the mechanical, thermal, contact angle, and water absorption behavior of neat epoxy, individual kenaf and sisal, and kenaf/sisal hybrid epoxy composites. The composite was fabricated by hand layup method. Among the various composites studied, sisal/kenaf/sisal hybrid epoxy composites showed the best properties and retained the thermo-mechanical properties with the lowest water absorption properties even after the weathering test. Thus, composites with hybridized kenaf and sisal with sisal outer layer are encouraging semistructural materials in outdoor applications.

“…The chemical treatment of the fiber improved the interfacial adhesion between the fiber surface and polymer matrix thereby the thermomechanical properties of the composites. The chemical treatment on ramie fibers has shown that the treatment of fibers with alkaline or saline or the combined treatment results in the improvement of the tensile strength (Gassan and Bledzki, 1997;Varghese and Mittal, 2017;Debeli et al, 2018;Sanjay et al, 2019a). The chemical treatment is one of the important techniques used to reduce the hydrophilic nature of the natural fibers also it improves the adhesion with the matrix.…”

“…Chemical treatment of the natural fibers is one of the ways to optimize the interaction between the fibers and polymer matrix. As it reduces the OH functional groups present on the fiber surface and also it increases the surface roughness and hence enhances the interfacial interaction between the matrix and the fibers (Liu et al, 2005;Mahjoub et al, 2014;Manimaran et al, 2017;Athith et al, 2018;Sanjay et al, 2019a). The study of natural fibers is very essential to develop eco-friendly composites.…”

The increase in awareness of the damage caused by synthetic materials on the environment has led to the development of eco-friendly materials. The researchers have shown a lot of interest in developing such materials which can replace the synthetic materials. As a result, there is an increase in demand for commercial use of the natural fiber-based composites in recent years for various industrial sectors. Natural fibers are sustainable materials which are easily available in nature and have advantages like low-cost, lightweight, renewability, biodegradability, and high specific properties. The sustainability of the natural fiber-based composite materials has led to upsurge its applications in various manufacturing sectors. In this paper, we have reviewed the different sources of natural fibers, their properties, modification of natural fibers, the effect of treatments on natural fibers, etc. We also summarize the major applications of natural fibers and their effective use as reinforcement for polymer composite materials.

“…Within the last two decades, the demand for polymeric composites composed of natural fibers has increased because of the solutions and advantages these plant fibers reinforced polymer composites (PFPCs) provide over composites based on synthetic fibers. These PFPCs started to make their place and were utilized in almost every sector of life because of their efficient mechanical properties, biodegradability, nontoxic nature, low weight and density, less tool wear and equipment abrasion, low cost, and renewability [7][8][9][10][11]. Moreover, with the proper selection of plant fibers, polymer matrices, pretreatments, and manufacturing techniques, the properties of PFPCs can be designed according to required use.…”

Advancement in science and technology provides the significant opportunities to utilize the plant fibers (unnoticed materials), which are cheap, abundant, sustainable, and biodegradable. A combination of polymer with the untreated and treated fibers, extracted from lignocellulosic biomass, has been getting significant attention because of their low cost, ecofriendly nature, and enhanced mechanical performance. This article delivers an explicit overview of the plant fibers, extraction and pretreatment of the plant fibers, development of the plant fibers reinforced polymeric composites, and the mechanical properties associated with these biocomposites. A special focus is concentrated on the pretreatment of hydrophilic plant fibers for better compatibility with the polymers, to obtain the enhanced composites having desirable properties. Finally, the effects of several pretreatments on the tensile and water absorption properties of the plant fibers reinforced composites has been included in detail for the better understanding of their practical applications.
