“…Natural fibres are also subjected to aging and degradation problem, which restricts their use for longer periods of time. 129,130 In addition, adhesion of natural fibres with the matrix is also lesser strong when compared with synthetic fibres. However, this weak adhesion problem can be and is being solved by surface modification of fibres.…”

Polymer composites are an important class of materials widely being used for many applications. But the main concern of non-degradability and adverse environmental impact of the polymer matrices and the synthetic reinforcements have given forth the need of environmental-friendly polymer matrices and reinforcements used in them. An attempt of such kind is to use the natural plant fibres as the reinforcements that have no harmful impact on the environment and also, they are cost effective. With growing interest in natural fibres in recent years, a lot of work is being done in various directions, which need to be gathered up for a specific interest. So, the present article is an attempt to review and discuss the research works that have evaluated the natural plant fibres as reinforcements in polymer composites. Natural fibre composites show variation of properties such as fibre’s source, type and structure. Interfacial adhesion between the fibre and the matrix is the most important factor when tensile properties of natural fibre composites are under consideration. The interfacial strength can be improved by some chemical modification of fibre surface, which changes the adhesion between fibre and matrix. These features of natural fibres as compared to synthetic fibres are motivating manufacturers and the end users to switch to natural fibre-based products.

Due to their profusion, high durability, and rigidity, lesser weight and biodegradable nature nanocellulose (NC) is observed as the challenging tasks for the aspirants in making of the green composites. The continuous network of the cellulose nanoparticle connected through hydrogen bonding is happened mainly due to the reinforcing effect allocated to the mechanical reoccurrence phenomenon of the NC. When comparing with the nanocrystalline cellulose, the NC has significant convincing progress in the durability and rigidity, and the aspect ratio of the NC is higher than that of the NC crystal. The reinforcement effect of NC is the characteristic of the NC polymer interaction as well as the reinforcement effect eventualizing through stress transfer at the NC–polymer interface. Thus, the concentration of the reinforcement particle rises to the saturation level due to the frailty of the NC reinforcement constituent and due to surface compliance between the matrix and the filler. Due to its structural firmness and mechanical behaviors, the NC compounds are used in many industrial applications like tissue engineering, food packaging, and electronic applications. The stretchable electronic systems and instruments are awaiting the maximal attention due to its essential applications in certain domains, such as robotics artificial intelligence, brain control and machine interface, clinical devices, and health care electronic monitoring devices. In addition to that, when realizing the operational performance of electronic devices, the electronic instruments and systems must be physically expandable and flexible. The proposed study deems the technique of reinforcing the NC compounds as green agent in electronic applications, which has been associated with the composites of polymer matrix. The elongation could be achieved through the formulation of composition via elastomers. In addition, it is being focused on the illustration of functional soft development of materials that is inclusive of the conductive intrinsic polymers for the elongated electrodes and electrothermal conversion and vice versa, occupying the maximal area along with tactile sensing elements.

“…Green polymeric composites composed of polymers reinforced with cellulose derivative not only address environmental issues but also improve the mechanical and electrical properties and the biodegradability of the polymeric materials, owing to the biodegradability, high mechanical properties, low density, and availability of cellulose. They are also much less abrasive than inorganic mineral counterparts to processing machinery, are less dangerous for production employees in case of inhalation, result in promising thermal and acoustic properties, are easily incinerated, and are capable of producing composites with lower specific weight . The biodegradable properties of green polymeric composites imply the degradation of a polymer in natural environment that includes changes to the chemical structure, the loss of mechanical and structural properties, and conversion into other compounds that are beneficial to the environment .…”

Owing to their abundance, high strength and stiffness, and low weight and biodegradability, nanocellulose (NC) is regarded as a promising candidate for the preparation of green composites. The high reinforcing effect assigned to the mechanical percolation phenomenon of NC is due to the stiff continuous networks of cellulosic nanoparticles linked via hydrogen bonding. Compared to nanocrystalline cellulose, NC fibers result in more significant improvement to the modulus, stiffness, and strength as aspect ratio NC fiber is higher compared to NC crystal. Indeed, in the case of biopolymer composites, the reinforcement effect of NC is attributed to the NC‐polymer interactions and the reinforcing effect occurring through effective stress transfer at the NC‐polymer interface. The NC‐reinforced composites tend to become more brittle as the concentration of the reinforcing particles increase up to the saturated level, due to the reduction in surface adhesion between filler and matrix. Due to its promising mechanical and structural stability, NC composites have been used widely in many industrial applications such as food packaging, electronic applications, and tissue engineering.
