Influence of chemical treatments on the thermal properties of natural fiber-reinforced hybrid composites (NFRHC)

Potential of lignocellulosic fiber reinforced polymer composites for automobile parts production: Current knowledge, research needs, and future direction

“…Some of the approaches that have been reported include developing a new fiber extraction and processing technique, identification and utilization of different fiber treatment methods, exploration of different natural fibers and fiber contents [ 28 , 29 ]. Studies have shown that fiber types, fiber treatment, and fiber extraction methods are the major parameters that are often considered during the production of natural fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites for property enhancement, especially the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the products [ [30] , [31] , [32] ]. Singh et al [ 31 ] found that the surface treatment of natural fibers leads to a considerable increase in the tensile and flexural strength of a polymer-based composite reinforced with jute, banana, and sisal fibers.…”
