A Review on Natural Fibre-Based Composites-Part I

J. Biagiotti, Débora Puglia, J. M. Kenny · 14 Jun 2004

Abstract Natural fibre-based composites have been intensely studied in the last years due to their specific properties and their clearly positive environmental impact. Other advantages of using vegetable fibres are related to their economical production and processing, their safe handling and working conditions. Therefore, lignocellulosic natural fibres constitute an interesting alternative to traditional synthetic fibres…

A Review on Natural Fibre-Based Composites—Part II

Débora Puglia, J. Biagiotti, J. M. Kenny · 6 Apr 2005

Abstract Natural abundance, much higher strength per unit weight than most inorganic fillers, lower density and their biodegradable nature make natural fillers attractive as reinforcements of engineering polymer systems. However, certain drawbacks such as incompatibility with the hydrophobic polymer matrix, the tendency to form aggregates during processing and poor resistance to moisture greatly reduce the…

Studies on Mechanical and Morphological Characterization of Developed Jute/Hemp/Flax Reinforced Hybrid Composites for Structural Applications

Vijay Chaudhary, Pramendra Kumar Bajpai, Sachin Maheshwari · 22 May 2017

In the present study, an attempt has been made to develop and characterize natural fiber-based composites (jute/epoxy, hemp/epoxy, flax/epoxy) and their hybrid composites (jute/hemp/epoxy, hemp/flax/epoxy, and jute/hemp/flax/epoxy) using hand-lay-up technique. Mechanical characterization (tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness test) of the developed composites was performed. The interface between fiber and matrix was examined using scan electron…

Effect of natural filler materials on fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites: An Overview

Praveenkumara Jagadeesh, Madhu Puttegowda, Yashas Gowda Thyavihalli Girijappa et al. · 21 Dec 2020

In past decades researchers found many difficulties while providing environmentally supportive materials for product making. Natural fibers possess many advantages over synthetic fibers such as ease of availability, bio-degradability, low cost, lesser density, minimal health hazards, and eco-friendly in nature. Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are the new innovative class of sustainable materials having good…

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties of Natural Fibers

Sagar Chokshi, Vijay Parmar, Piyush P. Gohil et al. · 1 Dec 2020

Natural Fiber (NF) becomes a vital part of the various industries such as textile, automotive, packaging, construction, etc. nowadays. This is a review of the chemical composition and mechanical properties of a wide variety of NFs including abaca fiber, bagasse fiber, bamboo fiber, banana fiber, coconut fiber, coir fiber, cotton fiber, flax fiber, hemp fiber,…
