“…When the image is zoomed in at 300× magnification, Figure 5 b, the structure of microfibrils can be seen and further prove the presence of lignin that is responsible for cementing cellulose microfibrils and protecting the structure. Similar results were reported by other authors [ 38 , 45 ]. Other than that, we also found shapes of regularly distributed semi-rectangular trays exist together along with PAF surface lines.…”

“…Nevertheless, the serration and uneven fibre surface somehow can help improve mechanical performance. It helps in enhancing the fibre-matrix interface in polymeric composite material, locking the fibre mechanically in the polymeric resin [ 45 ].…”

“…The FTIR curve of Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre is displayed in Figure 6 . The broadband and peak occurred at 3332 cm −1 reflecting water adsorption and the presence of the hydroxyl (O–H) group in the fibre which also indicates the existence of cellulose, lignin and water [ 45 ]. The presence of water in the fibre was revealed by moisture content tests.…”

Pandanus amaryllifolius is a member of Pandanaceae family and is abundant in south-east Asian countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and India. In this study, Pandanus amaryllifolius fibres were extracted via a water retting extraction process and were investigated as potential fibre reinforcement in polymer composite. Several tests were carried out to investigate the characterization of Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre such as chemical composition analysis which revealed Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre’s cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin content of 48.79%, 19.95% and 18.64% respectively. Material functional groups were analysed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis confirming the presence of cellulose and amorphous substances in the fibre. The morphology of extracted Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Further mechanical behaviour of fibre was investigated using a single fibre test with 5 kN cell load and tensile strength was found to be 45.61 ± 16.09 MPa for an average fibre diameter of 368.57 ± 50.47 μm. Meanwhile, moisture content analysis indicated a 6.00% moisture absorption rate of Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre. The thermogravimetric analysis justified the thermal stability of Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre up to 210 °C, which is within polymerization process temperature conditions. Overall, the finding shows that Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre may be used as alternative reinforcement particularly for a bio-based polymer matrix.

“…The extracted fiber quality is good, but the final product cost is high. [144,145] Anaerobic bacteria is the reason for water retting process, which divides the pectin content in the bundles of plant straw which are immersed in water bath. This process requires 6-14 days of duration based on environmental parameters.…”

In recent days, natural fiber reinforced polymer composite is more popular due to its extensive properties suitable for various potential applications. The attention towards natural fibers is because of low cost, biodegradable, recyclability, nonabrasive, combustible, lightweight, and nontoxic properties. However, there is a need for furthermore fundamental knowledge for the raw materials processing and fabrication of composite structures, which is still challenging in current days. Natural fiber sources exist all over the world, which is obtained from animals, plants and minerals. The quality of the natural fibers depends on the extraction methods and different processing techniques. These natural fibers surface characteristics could be enhanced by selecting suitable surface treatment and chemical treatment. These fiber treatments reduce the water intake percentage, improve the adhesive nature, and enhance the overall performance of resulting polymer composites. Among all the chemical treatments, alkaline treatment (NaOH) is the most preferred chemical treatment because of its effectiveness and its low cost. This review article proposes the natural fibers detailed classification, composition, structure, properties, and extraction methods, chemical and surface treatments. We also summarize the previous research work findings on the fibers treatment, properties of natural/natural hybrid polymer composites and natural/synthetic hybrid polymer composites with applications.

“…Fresh Inula viscosa plant was collected from Hodna region (Algeria) in April 2019. The IVs' barks were submerged in a small water tap for ve weeks to detach outer skin from the stalk by using biological retting technique, Figure 2 (a), [23,24]. Next, the innermost layer was manually removed from the outer layer.…”

This research aims to analyze the newly discovered cellulosic ber from the bark of Dittrichia viscosa, or Inula viscosa (IV), and evaluate the effects of permanganate and alkali chemical treatments on the physical properties to improve the interfacial bonding between Inula viscosa reinforced polymer composites. These permanganate and alkali treatments are both e cacious in helping in reducing hydrophilicity and eliminating impurities from the ber surface, which has been con rmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). Permanganate-treated IVFs have shown higher tensile strength and interfacial stress resistance (IFFS) than alkaline IVFs, and untreated IVFs by tensile and droplet tests. The different characteristics were studied and compared with other bark bers already available. It is estimated that the ber treatments will enable high-quality IVF-reinforced polymer composites for use in the industry.
