Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in creating environmentally friendly products using natural resources. Plant fibers, also known as lignocellulosic fibers, are hydrophilic due to the interaction and attraction between water molecules and the hydroxyl groups present in their components. The inherent hydrophilicity of plant fibers often prevents them from interacting effectively with hydrophobic polymer matrices. In order to improve the adhesion between plant fibers and the matrix, it is necessary to modify the surface of the fibers. Commonly used chemical processes include mercerization, silane treatment, acetylation, permanganate treatment, acrylation, benzoylation, peroxide treatment, stearic acid treatment, isocyanate treatment and sodium chlorite intervention. The desirability of chemically modifying the surface of plant fibers has declined due to several limitations. Plant fibers can be modified in an environmentally friendly way by various methods, such as plasma therapy and treatments using fungi, enzymes and bacteria. This part provides an analysis of the impact of different environmentally friendly surface modification techniques on the properties of plant fibers and reinforced polymers.

“…The SEM image clearly distinguishes the microstructural changes after the incorporation of filler in the matrix. The formation of fibre pullouts 34 and debonding 35 are also significant in the unfilled laminates, which leads to the reduction of the mechanical behaviour of the laminates before the incorporation of filler in its matrix. The weak bonding of the fibre with the reinforcement is one of the critical factors that lead to fibre pullouts 36 .…”

The current work aims to evaluate the properties of unsaturated polyester laminates reinforced with discontinuous randomly oriented chopped jute fibre matrix filled with microsized (57.8 μm) eggshell filler. Laminates with two and three layers of jute fibres were prepared by hand lay-up process. The mechanical properties like tensile strength, impact strength and flexural strength were enhanced from 20.16 to 25.8 MPa, 1.42 to 3.98 KJ/m 2 and 35.54 to 57.84 MPa, respectively, when the eggshell filler (surface area: 72.64 m 2 /g, pore volume: 0.297 cc/g) content was increased from 0% to 2.5% in the matrix for the threelayered laminate. The increase in filler content to 5% enhanced the hardness from 21.95 to 90.35 Rockwell L-scale (two-layered laminate); however, there was a declination of the other mechanical properties at a high filler content. The microsized filler has significantly decreased the voids and improvised the homogeneity, microstructure, crystallinity and contact angle (from 70.98[unfilled] to 74.72 [filled]) of the produced filled laminates, as substantiated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Xray difffraction (XRD) and contact angle measurements. Thus, the fabricated laminates can be efficiently utilised as an eco-friendly, high-strength, low-cost, light material for fabricating automobile dashboards.

“…Because CNFs have a larger aspect ratio and fiber entanglement in the composite, they are a superior material for the reinforcement than CNCs. 79,80 Acid hydrolysis may also be to blame because it reduced the thermal stability of CNCs, which is a significant issue during manufacturing processes like extrusion. 77 CNFs have been studied with a wide range of different thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer matrices, and the improvements in CNF properties that these matrices confer have been reported.…”

High performance and durability are essential for goods to satisfy the needs of the expanding worldwide market. Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are materials made from a combination of wood, polymers, and additives. WPCs can be extruded, injected, compressed, or thermoformed. Presently, WPCs are manufactured using sophisticated processes including as laser sintering, fused layer modeling, and additive manufacturing. Properly managing the melt temperature and pressure is crucial in the manufacturing process of WPCs to ensure effective polymer incorporation. Natural fibers have distinct benefits for polymer composites, but they also have some serious drawbacks, like lower strength properties—especially lower impact strength than synthetic fibers—poor compatibility with hydrophobic polymers, poorer dimensional stability and moisture absorption due to hydroxly groups, a maximum processing temperature that is limited, thermal degradation above 200–220°C, and lower biological durability. The modification of the surface of the fibers improves the mentioned disadvantages of the natural fibers. High‐quality WPCs require the application of chemical or physical treatment to the wood fibers. This extensive review focused on the modification techniques applied to the surface of wood, manufacturing processes, and properties and applications of WPCs.Highlights Modification methods used in surface treatment of natural fibers was explained. Properties and recent applications of wood polymer composites were given. Optimum requirements of natural fibers and polymer matrices are given. Fabrication methods of natural fiber composites are extensively given.
