“…The factors considered in mechanical characterization are fiber volume/weight fraction, stacking sequence of the fiber layers, methods of processing, treatment of fibers and the effect of environmental conditions . To enhance the mechanical properties, natural fibers, such as hemp ramie , kenaf , rice straw , abaca, wood, coir , jute, sisal , bamboo , rice husk , oil palm , and flax , have been used to reinforce PLA.…”

Biopolymer‐based composites have attracted the attention of researchers and industries due to their eco‐friendliness and environmental sustainability, as well as their suitability for a number of applications. Biocomposites containing natural fibers and biopolymers would be the ideal choice in the development of biodegradable materials for different applications. Polylactic acid (PLA) is an environmentally interesting biopolymer, which also has exclusive qualities, such as good transparency and processability, glossy appearance, and high rigidity, although it has some shortcomings as well, for example, its brittleness and high rate of crystallization. PLA‐based natural fiber composites are entirely bio‐based materials with promising biodegradability and mechanical properties. Several research studies have been carried out on PLA and its composites to explore their potential to substitute petroleum‐based products, but until now there is no comprehensive review with up‐to‐date research data available in the literature. The aim of this review is to highlight the trends in the research and development of PLA and PLA‐based natural fiber composites over the past few years. This review article covers current research efforts on the synthesis and biodegradation of PLA, its properties, trends, challenges and prospects in the field of PLA and its composites. PLA‐based composites are moderately abundant; and further research and development is needed for cost reduction and broader utilization. POLYM.

“…Likewise, Wong et al reported an improvement in impact strength upon reinforcement with CF in E‐glass/coir/polyester hybrid composites, due the ability of CF to dissipate impact energy. Also, an improvement in properties was reported by Asim et al for PALF/kenaf/phenolic resin hybrid composites upon addition of fibers.…”

“…. Nonetheless, there are a few studies conducted based on the combination of various kinds of natural fibers to reinforce a polymer matrix in hybrid composites . Dispersion and the incorporation of different types of fibers in hybrid composites are likely to improve the mechanical and/or thermal properties, as compared to single fiber based polymer composites .Therefore, hybrid composites are a cost‐effective option to develop good strength materials based on the properties of natural fibers .…”

Natural fiber‐based polymer composites have been widely studied to substitute synthetic materials. In this research, pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) and coir fibers (CF) were loaded into a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix to develop composite materials with improved mechanical and thermal properties, which could be potentially applied as biodegradable food packaging. Biocomposites with different fiber ratios were manufactured using an internal mixer plasticizer and a hot press machine. Mechanical and thermal analyses of the obtained composites were carried out and the results were compared with those of pure PLA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the microstructural failure of the composites. Mechanical tests indicated that all the composites had higher tensile and flexural modulus, compared to those of neat PLA. Also, strength values were increased upon addition of PALF, while impact tests showed enhanced strength results upon addition of CF. SEM findings confirmed the outcomes of the mechanical tests. DMA results confirmed that the storage and loss moduli of the CF/PALF/PLA hybrid composites increased with respect to those of the neat PLA, whereas the tan δ decreased. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the PLA composites decreased with the addition of fiber reinforcements. Based on the results achieved in this investigation, the hybrid composite containing CF and PALF in a 1:1 ratio (C1P1) presented the optimum set of mechanical properties and improved thermal stability, which make it suitable for applications such as food packaging and structure components to help reduce the environmental loads.

“…From the last few decades, fabrication of lignocellulosic fibres reinforced composites have been increased due to its suitability to replace the synthetic fibres reinforced composites [1,2]. The lignocellulosic fibres based composites revealed some specific characteristics such as biodegradability, low density, cheap manufacturing cost, better specific strength and modulus, easily machinery process, insulation properties, sound absorption properties, low energy consumption and ecofriendly [3].…”

Phenolic based PALF/nanoclay hybrid composites was prepared by adding Montmorillonite (MMT) as filler at different loading (1%, 2% and 3%) by using hot press technique. Obtained results indicated that adding MMT in PALF/phenolic composites considerably improves the tensile and flexural strength and modulus. Tensile properties showed that the tensile strength increased after adding MMT though tensile modulus decreased. Flexural strength and modulus were enhanced after adding MMT up to 2%, further addition of MMT declined the properties. 2% MMT showed better tensile and flexural properties. 3% MMT/PALF hybrid composite showed no further improvement in tensile properties after 2% MMT, however the flexural properties were reduced. 3% MMT did not improved much maybe agglomeration accrued. PALF/nanoclay/phenolic hybrid composites revealed good mechanical properties that encourage to use for structural purposes.
