“…Such attention is justified by specific strength comparable to synthetic fillers, low cost and biodegradability. In the counter part, design of structural materials using natural fibres rises several drawbacks such as limited fibre length, varied quality and degradation of the physical characteristics at high operating temperatures [4].…”

“…Sugar palm tree contain of starch in its trunk which can be used as a biopolymer. No previous research have been done on development of biopolymer derived from SPS; however, with the fact, that it has been widely done and documented with many other plants (Vilaseca et al, 2007;Hermann et al, 1998;Bastioli, 1998). This study complements and expands a previous publication 2013), which focus on the addition analysis of mechanical properties (i.e., flexural and impact), effect of weathering test and biodegradation of biopolymer derived from SPS.…”

A new Sugar Palm Starch (SPS) based biopolymer was successfully developed using glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of glycerol concentration (viz., 15, 20, 30 and 40 by weight percent) to the mechanical properties of plasticized SPS biopolymer was investigated. From this investigation, it was found that the 30% glycerol concentrated biopolymer showed the highest flexural strength and impact with the value of 0.13 MPa and 6.13 kJ/m 2 respectively. Later, the above 30% glycerol biopolymer was undergone through weathering and biodegradation test. The biodegradability test showed 78.09% of tensile strength lost after 72 h of weathering testing period. Meanwhile, the weight loss (%) of the same biopolymer was 63.58% after 72 h of biodegradation test.

“…Consequently, green composites are a renewable, eco-friendly, and biodegradable material. A study of the fabrication of green composites was initially reported by Herrmann et al (19) . Composites made from ramie and hemp fibers and a blend of starch and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) resin were prepared and named as a bio-composite.…”

With looming environmental problems and the global energy crisis, fully green composites of natural fibers and biodegradable resin have increasingly attracted research interest because of their advantages of low cost, renewable resource usage, and biodegradability. Recent studies and developments are reviewed in this article, including short fiber green composites, unidirectional green composites, textile and cross-ply green composites, and technologies for improvement of natural fibers and these composites. Fabrication methods, molding conditions, and mechanical properties of the composites are discussed in detail. A key approach of natural fiber toughness improvement by chemical treatment along with its effect on the composites is reported as an excellent example. Finally, future development trends related to fully green composites are predicted.
