Abstract:

Natural fibers, sourced from renewable plant and animal origins, have garnered increasing attention due to their sustainability, biodegradability, and advantageous mechanical properties. Their performance characteristics are strongly influenced by chemical composition, crystalline structure, and environmental factors throughout growth and processing. In plant-based fibers, cellulose serves as the primary structural component, while protein-based fibers rely on complex protein chains. This structural diversity directly impacts tensile strength, elasticity, moisture absorption, and thermal stabi

Abstract:

The use of natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers in fiber-polymer composites has drawn much interest in recent years. Natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers have several advantages over inorganic fillers such as glass fibers; they are abundant, readily available, renewable, inexpensive, biodegradable, of low density, and of high specific strength. Hemp fibers are one of the most attractive natural plant fibers for fiber-reinforced composites because of their exceptional specific stiffness. In this review, we summarize recent progress in developments of the hemp fiber reinforced comp

Abstract:

Plant fibers are being increasingly explored for their use in engineering polymers and composites, and many works have described their properties, especially for flax and hemp fibers. Nevertheless, the availability of plant fibers varies according to the geographical location on the planet. This study presents the first work on the mechanical properties of a tropical fiber extracted from the bast of Cola lepidota (CL) plant. After a debarking step, CL fibers were extracted manually by wet-retting. The tensile properties are first identified experimentally at the fibers scale, and the analysis

Abstract:

Research on plant-fiber-reinforced composites has gained significant research interest since it generates composites with exceptional mechanical properties; however, the potential of hemp fibers can only be fully exploited if the fibers are well separated from the bundle to achieve cellulose-rich fibers. This is because well-separated bast fibers that are long and exhibit higher fiber aspect ratio enhance the mechanical properties of the composite by influencing property translations upon loading. A key feature for successful implementation of natural fibers is to selectively remove non-cellul

Moreover, it enhances the mechanical properties of the whole composite without any need of compatibilizers due to its hydrophobicity. Finally, apart from the mechanical performances, we demo

Abstract:

Still more and more applications using synthetic polymers find new material alternative in materials based on synthetic polymer filled with nature fibers mainly plant fibers. Not only in common applications but also in technical applications is possible to use nature fiber composites. But some additional modifications are necessary to perform to gain properties possible to use in technical applications. Mainly increasing adhesion between matrix and fibers is the most common intent of these additional operations. This paper deals with maleic anhydride based coupling agent and silane coupling ag

Abstract:

This research evaluates four sustainable cementitious composites with sustainable plant fibers and bio-aggregates: (1) cementitious matrix composite with lechuguilla fibers (LFC) and (2) with flax fibers (FFC); and (3) cementitious matrix composite with wood shavings (WSC) and (4) with hemp shavings (HSC). The fibers are for reinforcement and the shavings act as bio-aggregates as a total replacement for limestone aggregates. The lechuguilla (LF) and flax (FF) fibers were treated; wood (WS) and hemp (HS) bio-aggregates were also processed. Nineteen mixtures were manufactured, and five were used

Abstract:

In this work, henequen and ixlte plant fibers were carbonized in a horizontal quartz tube furnace. Several carbonized and non-carbonized fiber fabric configurations were impregnated with a bio-based epoxy resin through the infuseon process. The infrared spectra revealed characteristic bands of styrene instead of organic compounds, representing that the carbonization procedure was adequate to carbonize the plant fibers. The porosity volume ratio for the non-carbonized henequen laminates showed the highest number of voids >1.9%, and the rest of the composites had a similar void density betwee

Abstract:

This research aims at studying the mechanical properties of industrial hemp fibers and promoting their use as a reinforcing composite material for strengthening of civil engineering structures. Natural hemp fibers are of great interest due to the following advantages they have: low cost, high strength-to-weight ratio, low density and non-corrosive properties. The use of plant fiber composite materials has increased significantly in recent years because of the negative reduction impact on the environment. For example, the tendency to use renewable resources and their possibility for recycling.

This study explores the development of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) composites based on blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), reinforced with sisal fibers. A novel lab-scale LFT line was employed to fabricate the long fiber composites, effectively addressing the challenges associated with dispersing and processing high-aspect-ratio natural fibers. The rheological, mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the resulting bio-LFT composites were systematically characterized using FTIR, SEM, rotational rheology, mechanical testing, DSC, and TGA.

In recent years, in order to reduce the environmental burden of composite materials, research has been conducted to develop composites made from plant-derived polymers and natural fibers, the so called green composites. In this study, green composites were made from polylactic acid (PLA), a bioplastic derived from corn starch, reinforced with bamboo fibers. The composites were manufactured by mixing short bamboo fibers and dispersion-type PLA resin. Subsequently, PLA/bamboo fiber sheets were molded by a hot pressing method.

The physical, mechanical, and interfacial properties, as well as the morphology of the ACPFs were reported. It was found that ACPFs with a density of 0.92 g/cm3 have average tensile strength and tensile modulus equal to 355.77 MPa and 5212.36 MPa. The interfacial strength between ACPFs and PLA was high (14.06 MPa), attributed to the micro–sized holes on the fibers, as established fr

Flax–gypsum composites are an emerging class of environmentally friendly materials that combine the mechanical properties of gypsum with the advantageous characteristics of flax fibers. The production of flax–gypsum composites involve the incorporation of flax fibers, derived from the flax plant, into gypsum matrix systems. In order to create a uniform distribution of fibers within the gypsum matrix, the hand lay-up approach has been used to produce the specimens. The fiber content and orientation significantly influence the resulting mechanical and physical properties of the composites. Vario
