“…6) Bamboo Fiber: Bamboo (Bambusa Shreb) is a perennial plant, which grows up to 40 m in height in monsoon climates. A bamboo plant tends to reach its mature size in six to eight months with some variation between species [26]. The diversity of bamboo is itself reflected by its number of species, there are roughly 1000 species of bamboo found world wide.…”

“…5) Ramie Fiber: Ramie belongs to the family Utricaceae (Boehmeria), which includes about 100 species. The density is much less than that of synthetics fibers and the specific strength and specific modulus of natural fibers are comparable or even superior to E-glass fibers [26]. Ramie popularity as a textile fiber has been limited largely by regions of production and a chemical composition that has required more expensive pre-treatment than is required of the other commercially important bast fibers [27].…”

Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are quickly growing both in terms of their industrial applications and primary research as they are renewable, low, completely or partially recyclable and eco-friendly. In order to produce cost effective polymer reinforced composites and to reduce the destruction of ecosystem, researchers have come up with new manufacturing trends for composite using natural fibers which are partially biodegradable, for which plants such as flax, cotton, hemp, jute, sisal, kenaf, pineapple, banana, wood etc., used from time immemorial as a rich source of lignocellulosic fibers are more often applied as the reinforcement of composites. The chemically treated natural fibre shows better improvement in properties than untreated fibres. The chemically treated natural fibre has improved interfacial adhesion between fibre surface and polymer matrix. Natural fibre reinforcements have shown better results in impact toughness and fatigue strength. This review aims at explaining about the research and development in the improvement in properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites along with its application.

“…This composite pneumatic arm was punctured with a needle while under positive pressure and maintained its internal pressure, even after the needle was removed (Figure 2A, b-d). Though the reason behind the damage resilience was never fully discovered, the current theory is that the damage resilience stems from a combination of the polyaramid fibers preventing crack propagation (Geethamma et al, 2005) and the silicone's natural tendency to self-adhere when elastically returning to its original molded shape (after removal of the needle). In another recent example, Wallin et al (2017) developed a self-healing elastomer-based soft robot, wherein UV cure elastomer resins were used to stereolithographically 3D print hydraulic actuators.…”

Advances in soft robotics will be crucial to the next generation of robot-human interfaces. Soft material systems embed safety at the material level, providing additional safeguards that will expedite their placement alongside humans and other biological systems. However, in order to function in unpredictable, uncontrolled environments alongside biological systems, soft robotic systems should be as robust in their ability to recover from damage as their biological counterparts. There exists a great deal of work on self-healing materials, particularly polymeric and elastomeric materials that can self-heal through a wide variety of tools and techniques. Fortunately, most emerging soft robotic systems are constructed from polymeric or elastomeric materials, so this work can be of immediate benefit to the soft robotics community. Though the field of soft robotics is still nascent as a whole, self-healing and damage resilient systems are beginning to be incorporated into three key support pillars that are enabling the future of soft robotics: actuators, structures, and sensors. This article reviews the state-of-the-art in damage resilience and self-healing materials and devices as applied to these three pillars. This review also discusses future applications for soft robots that incorporate self-healing capabilities.

“…They found that tensile strength of the 60 vol% reinforced composites to be in the range of 140MPa with no significant influence of processing temperature. Geethamma et al [9] concluded that alkali treatment is an important step for improvement of interfacial bounding because of the removal of cuticle and the creation of a rough surface. Jacob et al [10] prepared natural rubber composites with a 50:50 hybrid reinforcement of sisal and oil palm using two roll milling and curing at 150 0 C. They observed by a rheometric study of vulcanization that the mix with bonding agent and chemically treated fiber yielded maximum torque.…”
