“…Formulation of the problem. Prabhudass& Palanikumar [138]) confirm this. But as regards the possibility of maintaining high (or simply sufficient) strength and durability after hard heating, there is much less work [118-119, 126, 130].…”

“…78 The usual thermoplastic polymer matrices for natural fiber reinforced composites are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). 79 Some thermoset resins used in natural fiber reinforced composites are phenolic, unsaturated polyvinyl ester or polyester 80 and epoxy resin. [81][82][83] Among polymer composites, biocomposites are materials made from natural/bio fiber and petroleum derived non-biodegradable polymers (such as polypropylene, polyethylene) or biodegradable polymers (such as polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalcanoate).…”

This paper presents some principles of research done on the assessment of fiber-matrix adhesion and durability in cement-based and polymer-based composites reinforced with vegetable fibers. Natural vegetable fibers are light, biodegradable and low-cost; however, their compatibility with both matrices - which are generally hydrophobic- is poor, because of their hydrophilic character. This review presents the different strategies proposed in literature to improve (1) interfacial bonding between matrix and fibers and (2) sustainability of composite materials reinforced by vegetable fibers. In order to achieve these goals, searchers investigate chemical or/and physical treatments of fibers and/or matrix modification of composites materials. The impacts of these strategies are followed in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties, morphology and water absorption of the composite materials. Authors proposed to focus on the influence of aging on these characteristics in order to estimate durability.

“…In summary, the addition of natural fibers to an epoxy matrix is expected to lower the thermal stability of the resulting composites [ 9 , 34 , 35 , 159 , 160 , 162 ] due to the hydrophilicity nature of the natural fibers. However, the hybridization of natural fibers with synthetic fibers such as glass fibers is expected to improve the thermal stability of the composites [ 163 ].…”

“…Regarding the electrical surface resistivity of the composite, values of 1.27 × 10 10 Ω/m 2 and 7.29 × 10 9 Ω/m 2 were reported for epoxy/rice husk and epoxy saw dust biocomposites, respectively. The decrease in thermal and electrical conductivity of epoxy with natural fiber inclusion is attributed to the fact that natural fibers have a porous structure that enables them to entrap air within their molecular structure [ 10 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. The acoustic performance of epoxy-containing rice husk and sawdust was equally evaluated, and the sound absorption of epoxy was improved with rice and sawdust incorporation.…”

Growing environmental concerns have increased the scientific interest in the utilization of natural fibers for the development of epoxy biocomposite materials. The incorporation of one or more fibers in the production of hybrid epoxy polymer composites has been a subject of discussion. It is interesting to acknowledge that natural/synthetic fiber hybridized epoxy composites have superior properties over natural/natural fiber hybridized epoxy composites. Significant efforts have been devoted to the improvement of natural fiber surface modifications to promote bonding with the epoxy matrix. However, to achieve sufficient surface modification without destroying the natural fibers, optimization of treatment parameters such as the concentration of the treatment solution and treatment time is highly necessary. Synthetic and treated natural fiber hybridization in an epoxy matrix is expected to produce biocomposites with appreciable biodegradability and superior mechanical properties by manipulating the fiber/matrix interfacial bonding. This paper presents a review of studies on the processing of epoxy natural fiber composites, mechanical properties, physical properties such as density and water absorption, thermal properties, biodegradability study, nondestructive examination, morphological characterizations, and applications of epoxy-based natural fiber biocomposites. Other aspects, including a review of variables that enhance the mechanical and functional performance of epoxy/natural fibers composites while also increasing the biodegradability of the composite material for environmental sustainability, were presented. The future research focus was elucidated. It is hoped that this review will stimulate and refocus research efforts toward advancing the manufacture of epoxy/natural fiber composites to meet the growing demand for biocomposite materials in the global world.
