Environmental concerns and the depletion of petroleum resources have spurred research into natural fibres as sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibres as the reinforcement phase in polymer composites. Given that the local availability of materials is a crucial component in the sustainability framework, there is a need to map out the fibres used to develop natural fibre composites across geographical regions to optimize local resource utilization. Through a systematic review of publications sourced from Scopus and Web of Science databases, this study examines the contributions made by Africa to develop green polymer composites. The bibliometric data from both databases were systematically merged, and bibliometric analysis was carried out to identify trends and relevant relationships and provide a more general insight into Africa's progress in the natural fibre polymer composite field. A meta‐analysis was then conducted to identify the natural fibres exclusively sourced from Africa that have been used to develop polymer composites. The study also discussed natural fibre classifications with respect to fibre type and form. Sisal, palm varieties (particularly date palm), alfa, jute and members of the Musaceae family (i.e., banana, plantain and enset) were found to be the most used African‐sourced fibres. This study is a step to creating a more extensive global natural fibre database that seeks to provide more precise knowledge, enhance research efficiency, and ensure the utilization of local materials in creating more sustainable composites.Highlights The use of local materials is a key component of sustainable development A natural fibre database can foster sustainability in the composite industry Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia are leading Africa's composite research Research prioritizes composite material science over practical applications Sisal, date palm, alfa and jute are the most used natural fibres in Africa

“…Jute fibres may be able to substitute glass fibres due to their lower density, high specific strength and modulus [ 10 ], with high individual fibre length [ 5 ]. Additionally, jute is at least 50 % cheaper than flax and other natural fibres, and it is the second most produced natural fibre after cotton mostly in Bangladesh, India, and China [ [11] , [12] , [13] ]. Normally plain fabric structure (1/1) is extensively used in manufacturing natural plant fibre based composites for their easy and low cost dry fibre preforming process, although the mechanical properties of composites can be varied with different fabric structures.…”

This research investigated the innovative synthesis achieved through blending five distinct fibres (Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), Polyester (PET), Polylactic acid (PLA), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)) in the production of needle-punched nonwoven fabrics tailored for air filtration applications. The study investigated the effects of needle-punched nonwovens made with up to five fibres on the physical and mechanical properties, addressing a gap in existing literature. The method involved manual and machine opening, blending, and carding of fibre s, followed by producing three samples with different web arrangements (cross laid web, parallel laid web, and pre needled parallel lad web). The study employed standard test methods to characterize physical and mechanical properties. Results indicated that web arrangement and pre-needling significantly influenced various properties, with cross and parallel-laid web arrangements having minimal impact on thickness and bursting stretch. The parallel arrangement, whether pre-needled or not, showed no significant effect on GSM, fabric density, bursting strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, and filtration efficiency. The highest abrasion resistance, lower pressure drop, highest fabric stiffness, moderate tensile strength, and higher bursting strength were observed in a cross-web arrangement. This study contributed valuable insights into the intricate interplay of fibre composition, web arrangement, and pre-needling in the design of advanced needle-punched nonwoven fabrics for air filtration. The findings provided a nuanced understanding of how these factors collectively impact the mechanical and physical characteristics of the material, paving the way for enhanced efficiency, durability, and versatility in air filtration applications.
