“…Such variability mainly depends on the polymer characteristics, such as molecular weight and specific gravity. Since the neat-PLA cannot always meet all the requirements for different fields, a common solution consists of incorporating natural fibers for improving specific properties [28][29][30][31][32][33]. However, a significant gap appears when comparing the measurements of mechanical properties on the neat-PLA with PLA blended with natural fibers, especially in terms of data availability.…”

“…It has been repeatedly reported that the plant fibers have higher strength and stiffness comparing to the animal fibers. Therefore, plant fibers are the most appropriate reinforcement agents for polymer matrices among all natural fibers (Mochane et al 2019;.…”

“…Another important parameter in green composites is the adhesion between the hydrophobic matrix and natural fibers, and the even distribution of the fibers [ 15 ]. Lignocellulosic fibers are generally hydrophilic and cellulose (microfibrils) is their main structural and reinforcing component [ 16 ]. Spirally wound cellulose microfibrils provide strength, stiffness and structural stability to natural fibers.…”
