“…Rattan is a multipurpose biomass resource with excellent qualities, like short production cycle, sustainability, high economic value, superior physical and mechanical properties, and cultural value [29][30][31]. To the authors best knowledge some works have been done on rattan fibre reinforced polymer composites [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] to study their mechanical and thermal properties. However, studies on their tribological properties are scanty in literature.…”

In the present investigation, acrylic acid treated short rattan fibre reinforced epoxy (RF/Epoxy) composite was fabricated by taking various weight percentages (i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 wt%) of fibres using hand layup technique. Different mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strength were investigated. By regression analysis it was found that 18 wt% of acrylic acid treated rattan fibre reinforcement (optimum fiber loading) gave 21.17%, 32.74% and 40.10% increase in above properties in comparison to untreated one. The tribological performances such as specific wear rate, friction coefficient and weight loss were analysed in terms of speed, load and sliding distance under multipass two body abrasion condition. It was observed that tribological performance was also better at optimum fibre loading similar to mechanical properties. The microstructure of worn-out surface of the composite was studied with the help of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and was found that with increasing sliding velocity, the surface deterioration and matrix breakage become predominant reducing the composite's wear resistance.

“…Billah et al examined continuous and discontinuous rattan fiber reinforced PP injected moulded composite where the tensile properties of discontinuous fiber enhanced up to 30%. On the other hand, the tensile properties of continuous fiber enhanced up to 59%[ 57 ]. Nuez et al developed flax shives reinforced inject moulded PP composite, whereas the tensile strength and Young modulus tremendously increased due to good bonding with fiber and PP matrix [ 58 ].…”

Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile polymer with numerous applications that has undergone substantial changes in recent years, focusing on the demand for next-generation polymers. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent research in PP and its advanced functional applications. The chronological development and fundamentals of PP are mentioned. Notably, the incorporation of nanomaterial like graphene, MXene, nano-clay, borophane, silver nanoparticles, etc., with PP for advanced applications has been tabulated with their key features and challenges. The article also conducts a detailed analysis of advancements and research gaps within three key forms of PP: fiber, membrane, and matrix. The versatile applications of PP across sectors like biomedical, automotive, aerospace, and air/water filtration are highlighted. However, challenges such as limited UV resistance, bonding issues, and flammability are noted. The study emphasizes the promising potential of PP while addressing unresolved concerns, with the goal of guiding future research and promoting innovation in polymer applications. Graphical Abstract

“…Recently it was proved that specific mechanical properties (when divided by density) of the natural fiber reinforced composite were comparable with synthetic fibers, which created a new path to be used for various industrial applications such as panels, door parts, clutch plates, seat cover plates, dashboards, and backrests [119,120]. Table 3 tabulates the mechanical properties of new sustainable composites reinforced with various bast fibers [121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139]. The use of these biodegradable lignocellulosic fibers of plant bast origin has been an ecological and economical choice and, bast-based fibers are inexpensive and available in abundance around the world (figure 5).…”

This systematic review focuses on the exploration and advancement of sustainable and eco-friendly polymer composite materials derived from bast fibers. Bast fibers, obtained from the phloem of certain plants like flax, hemp, jute, and kenaf, represent a renewable and environmentally benign resource. Their integration into polymer based composites has gained significant attention due to the growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable material development. The importance of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of bast fibers as viable alternatives to the synthetic fibers in polymer composite materials. By harnessing the natural strength, light weight, and biodegradability of bast fibers, this review contributes to the creation of materials that are not only environmentally sustainable but also possess enhanced mechanical properties suitable for various industrial and domestic applications.
