“…With this method, the surface of the fiber is cleaned by surface etching and improved the surface roughness for enhancing the adhesion and interfacial bonding by creating interlocks with the matrix [45]. Oxygen plasma treatment also promotes surface hydroxylation, oxidation, and increases the wetting property of the natural fiber surfaces [46]. Corona treatment carried out in a corona discharge reactor modifies the fiber surface oxidation to improve the interface between hydrophilic fiber and hydrophobic matrix [47].…”

In spite of the fact that a prodigious portion of petroleum covers multitudinous products in the commercial world, its nonbiodegradable characteristic is an unenviable factor. The utilization of biodegradable polymers or biopolymers is a prominent alternative to petroleum-based plastic products. Reinforcing natural fibers to biopolymer matrices significantly improves the properties of prepared plastic products. Such biopolymer composites have been developed by researchers to provide environmentally responsible materials and thereby reduce carbon footprint. Modification or functionalization of natural fibers is important to ameliorate the interfacial bonding with biopolymers, and to successfully obtain high-performance composite materials that can compete with conventional petrochemical-based polymer composite counterparts. Another widely accepted composite development technique is by combining different types of fibers into a single matrix to develop highly valued hybrid composites. The review focuses on the extraction, processing and characterization of bio-based materials; natural fibers and biopolymers, and their synergistic application and future scope as biopolymer composites in automotive and other growing sectors.
