“…Red circle shows the visible kenaf yarn fiber inside the PKFRC composites [395] board in furniture applications. [412] Majeed et al prepared rice husk (RH)/montmorillonite (MMT) hybrid filler filled low-density polyethylene nanocomposite films. The composite films with higher RH contents in the hybrid filler were found to be more biodegradable than those having lower RH contents.…”

Environmental awareness across the world has motivated researchers to focus their attention on the use of cellulosic fiber as reinforcement in polymer matrices.Lignocellulosic fibers are an abundantly available resource in all countries, which is cheap and easily renewable. Also, due to their properties, cellulosic plant fibers exhibit a great potential for use in polymer reinforcement. As a result, considerable research and development efforts have been directed towards the use of cellulosic fibers as a reinforcing material in composites. The use of cellulosic fiber reinforced composites has continuously increased during recent years, which benefits the cultivation of fiber plants and the economy of the country. This research area continues to be of interest to both industry and academia, the use of cellulosic fibers in composite applications being investigated throughout the world. Cellulosic fiber reinforced composites are reasonably strong, lightweight, harmless to human health and the environment, and biodegradable, hence they have the potential to be used in various applications. Recent progress in cellulosic fiber composites research has illustrated their great potential as structural components in automobiles, aerospace structures, construction, and building, and so forth. This study is an effort to create awareness about the research works that have been published in the field of natural fiber composites. This review briefly illustrates the main paths and results of major research published in the field of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. The topics covered include the aspects of fiber treatment to improve the mechanical properties of the composites, manufacturing methods, performance of hybrid composites, effect of laminate configuration, and many different applications of natural fiber composites.By presenting a systematic view of the work performed in this area so far, this review will hopefully serve as a starting point for the development of new ideas in the research on natural fiber polymer composites.

“…Montmorillonite nanoclays are hydrophilic in nature but they have good bonding with PP, which stabilizes the interface in composite materials containing PP as a matrix and natural fibers (kenaf, coir, or wood) as fillers. This retards the biodegradability by decreasing the access of moisture to the inside of material, thus lowering the water absorption in early stages of soil burial, and by localizing inside clay, the water is absorbed in higher amounts at later stages of biodegradation [90]. Montmorillonites hindered the enzymatic attack of α-amylase on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/starch composites, with nanocore having higher effects than bentonite and Peruvian clay.…”

Polymer composites are widely used modern-day materials, specially designed to combine good mechanical properties and low density, resulting in a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. However, materials for outdoor use suffer from the negative effects of environmental factors, loosing properties in various degrees. In particular, natural fillers (particulates or fibers) or components induce biodegradability in the otherwise bio inert matrix of usual commodity plastics. Here we present some aspects found in recent literature related to the effect of aggressive factors such as temperature, mechanical forces, solar radiation, humidity, and biological attack on the properties of plastic composites containing natural fillers.

“…The interface of composites based on PP as matrix and natural fibers (kenaf, coconut and wood) as fillers is stabilized by montmorillonite nanoclay, even though that mineral is hydrophilic (Islam et al 2017). The results showed that biodegradability of these composites was decreased by limiting the access of moisture inside the material in early stages of soil burial, and by increasing water absorption in higher amounts at later stages of biodegradation.…”

Vegetal fibers from different sources, including wood fibers and plant-derived fibers, together with polymer plastics per se (natural, synthetic, and their blends), as well as their combinations as composite materials may generate significant amounts of wastes. These will undergo degradation process under exposure to different environmental factors including microorganisms, climatic changes – e.g. droughts, oxygen, temperature, soil dynamics, UV radiation, etc. This survey offers a concise review of degradation under environmental conditions, mainly after in-soil exposure, of waste made of polymer materials and natural fibers. It also describes the most common methods for evaluation of bioconversion and degradation, as well as the structural properties after degradation (e.g. macroscopic investigation; weight loss; spectrometry – UV, FTIR, NMR; X-ray diffraction for crystalline changes; SEM microscopy; and thermal stability).
