“…Figure 9 below further summarizes the results of exposing the different treated and untreated composites to flames. The findings obtained showed that the linseed oil served as a flame retardant, and in effect, the retarded treatment spread of the flame and further prevented the degradation of the composite [46]. Similarly, further analysis showed that barley-based composites demonstrated delicate fire behavior than wheat composite.…”

“…The research implies that additional treatment to natural fibers enhances their thermal properties such as flammability and thermal degradation, and therefore, real-world applications should leverage on such insights in insulating buildings. The findings obtained showed that the linseed oil served as a flame retardant, and in effect, the retarded treatment spread of the flame and further prevented the degradation of the composite [46].

“…Belayachi et al [46] also investigated the use of wheat and barley straw fibers in the manufacture of light-weight composites for building insulation. However, unlike Rojas et al [44], a comparison was made between treated and untreated fibers to investigate the impact of treatment on the composites' fire behavior in terms of flammability and thermal degradation.…”

“…The positive results have a significant economic implication in developing countries, such as Chile, since natural fibers are locally available and abundant, and their deployment in the development of construction materials consumes lower energy and costs compared to petrochemical-based materials. Belayachi et al [46] also investigated the use of wheat and barley straw fibers in the manufacture of light-weight composites for building insulation. However, unlike Rojas et al [44], a comparison was made between treated and untreated fibers to investigate the impact of treatment on the composites' fire behavior in terms of flammability and thermal degradation.…”

The construction sector, in modern times, is faced by a myriad of challenges primarily due to the increase in the urban population and dwindling natural resources that facilitate the production of construction materials. Furthermore, higher awareness on climate change is forcing companies to rethink their strategies in developing more sustainable construction materials. Diverse types of agro-waste ranging from rice husk ash (RHA), sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), and bamboo leaves ash (BLA) among others have been identified as potent solutions in the development of sustainable construction materials. In this review paper, six different construction materials, made using agro-waste products, are examined. The materials include brick/masonry elements, green concrete, insulation materials for buildings, reinforcement materials for buildings, particleboards, and bio-based plastics. The main criterion adopted in selecting the materials regards their popularity and wide-scale use in modern construction applications. Additionally, as this research emphasizes identifying alternative approaches to develop sustainable construction materials, the focus is directed toward mainstream materials whose continued use has an adverse impact on the environment. The findings obtained from the review showed that the use of agro-waste to develop sustainable construction materials was effective, as the developed materials adhered to established building standards. Therefore, this indicates that agro-waste materials have the potential to replace conventional construction materials and hence achieve economic, environmental, and social sustainability in the long run.

“…Differently, the treatment was applied purposely for improving the fire performance of wheat straw fibre. The significant effect of the linseed oil treatment at the macroscopic level by flammability test and microscopic level by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was revealed, and it was found that, the linseed oil treatment retarded the flame spread and prevents BCB degradation [42]. Plasma treatment is another useful fibre surface modification technique for improving the polymeric materials by utilizing tools, such as electrons, high-energy photons, radicals and ions.…”

In recent years, considerable attention have been given to the development and utilization of biodegradable fibres for bio-composite boards. This is due to the increase in the environmental consciousness and the need for sustainable development which enable establishment of new materials majorly for packaging, aircraft, furniture, and automobile. Straw fibres (wheat, rice, and corn fibre) are the most available natural agricultural wastes products, which has been utilized for the production of these new materials. This paper hence reviews the enhancement in production methodology and properties of the straw fibres bio-composite boards to add further scientific knowledge to the potentiality of using agricultural fibres as value added products. The future replacement of conventional wood fibres for the production of bio-composite panels, especially with agricultural wastes, could be centered on straw fibres. The introduction of straw fibres in polymer matrices were presented based on various research outcomes. Biodegradable fibres could be regarded as a good fibrous composite material. Although, more efforts are still needed in developing facile straw fibre composite production methods and materials with robust industrial and domestic applications.
