Advantages and applications of sisal fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites in automobiles: A literature review

Potential of lignocellulosic fiber reinforced polymer composites for automobile parts production: Current knowledge, research needs, and future direction

“…The viability of NFRPC materials in the automotive industry has experienced significant growth within the research community. This surge in interest is attributed to their potential as an alternative to synthetic fiber-based composites, with a particular emphasis on substituting glass fiber-reinforced composites [ [134] , [135] , [136] ]. Plant-based natural fibers are classified into two primary types, determined by their applications and corresponding global market demands: wood fibers and non-wood fibers [ 137 , 138 ].…”

“…Non-wood natural fibers thrive mostly in the automotive industry in Europe using both thermoplastic and thermoset resins as matrix materials for their composite production. Non-wood fibers have been successfully used as reinforcement materials in polymer matrices for different automobile parts manufacturing, including door trims, seat backs, dashboards, and headliners [ 134 , 135 , 139 , 140 ]. These renewable or partially renewable composite materials offer lower energy consumption during production, reductions in weight and fuel consumption, improved recyclability, high specific strength, and low cost.…”

Flammability and thermal resistance of Ceiba petandra fiber‐reinforced composite with snail powder filler

“…The mix of natural and filler powders increases the mechanical strength of the composites, making them excellent for structural applications 6–8 . The combination of fillers and fibers has been explored to improve the mechanical properties of composites by focusing on adhesion, thermal stability, and moisture absorption behavior 9 …”

“…[6][7][8] The combination of fillers and fibers has been explored to improve the mechanical properties of composites by focusing on adhesion, thermal stability, and moisture absorption behavior. 9 The addition of fillers to natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites has various effects. 10 Nanofillers significantly enhance the mechanical properties of composites: tensile strength, modulus, flexural strength, and impact strength.…”
