“…Natural fibers are renewable resources that may be obtained in a sustainable way. Eco-friendly nature, low cost, renewability, local availability compared with synthetic fibers have made them as potential alternative materials in the composite industry [ 27 ]. Utilization of plant-based natural fibers such as flax, jute, sisal, ramie, coconut coir, pineapple leaf fiber, kenaf, bamboo fiber and so forth have improved due to the increased efforts made by researchers [ 28 ].…”

Multiple environmental concerns such as garbage generation, accumulation in disposal systems and recyclability are powerful drivers for the use of many biodegradable materials. Due to the new uses and requests of plastic users, the consumption of biopolymers is increasing day by day. Polylactic Acid (PLA) being one of the most promising biopolymers and researched extensively, it is emerging as a substitute for petroleum-based polymers. Similarly, owing to both environmental and economic benefits, as well as to their technical features, natural fibers are arising as likely replacements to synthetic fibers to reinforce composites for numerous products. This work reviews the current state of the art of PLA compounds reinforced with two of the high strength natural fibers for this application: flax and jute. Flax fibers are the most valuable bast-type fibers and jute is a widely available plant at an economic price across the entire Asian continent. The physical and chemical treatments of the fibers and the production processing of the green composites are exposed before reporting the main achievements of these materials for structural applications. Detailed information is summarized to understand the advances throughout the last decade and to settle the basis of the next generation of flax/jute reinforced PLA composites (200 Maximum).

Fique is a biodegradable natural fiber derived from the Colombian Agavaceae family, originating in tropical America and traditionally used for the manufacture of packaging and cordages. Today, however, new uses are being developed. To meet the need for new good-quality, sustainable, low-cost construction materials for social housing, construction materials have been produced that combine different kinds of natural fibers, including fique, to improve their strength and physical properties. To assess these potential new construction materials made with fique fiber, we have characterized samples of different grammages and thicknesses manufactured using short fique fibers extracted from long fibers. We have measured the sound absorption coefficient at normal incidence in an impedance tube, air flow resistivity, and thermal conductivity as a function of grammage.

The trend of using natural reinforcement has benefited the researchers in improving especially the mechanical properties, at the same time; it has helped also in reducing the cost, better bio-degradability, natural look to the component being prepared. The present research article describes the work carried out on natural fiberpineapple fiber in combination with -E Glass fabrics with two different aerial densities (200 & 400 gm) being reinforced with epoxya thermosetting resin to form hybrid at different material composition. The laminates made out of hybrid composites were fabricated by hand layup technique. The mechanical characterization of these hybrids reveals that the strength in tensile, impact and shear mode for P-G-E composite with E-Glass fabric of 200 gsm aerial density has increased. However, in three-point bend and indentation modes, the P-G-E hybrid with E-Glass fiber of 400 gsm aerial density showed the highest flexural strength as well as hardness. Scanning electron microscopic images of failed samples under tensile loading were taken to highlight the fracturedareas.
