Leaf fibres as reinforcements in green composites: a review on processing, properties and applications

Waste recycling is one of the key aspects in current day studies to boost the country’s circular economy. Recycling wood from construction and demolished structures and combining it with plastics forms wood-polymer composites (WPC) which have a very wide scope of usage. Such recycled composites have very low environmental impact in terms of abiotic potential, global warming potential, and greenhouse potential. Processing of WPCs can be easily done with predetermined strength values that correspond to its end application. Yet, the usage of conventional polymer composite manufacturing techniques such as injection molding and extrusion has very limited scope. Many rheological characterization techniques are being followed to evaluate the influence of formulation and process parameters over the quality of final WPCs. It will be very much interesting to carry out a review on the material formulation of WPCs and additives used. Manufacturing of wood composites can also be made by using bio-based adhesives such as lignin, tannin, and so on. Nuances in complete replacement of synthetic adhesives as bio-based adhesives are also discussed by various researchers which can be done only by complete understanding of formulating factors of bio-based adhesives. Wood composites play a significant role in many non-structural and structural applications such as construction, floorings, windows, and door panels. The current review focuses on the processing of WPCs along with additives such as wood flour and various properties of WPCs such as mechanical, structural, and morphological properties. Applications of wood-based composites in various sectors such as automotive, marine, defense, and structural applications are also highlighted in this review.

“…WPC is therefore almost climate neutral. The balance is all the more positive the longer the WPC remains in an application [61][62][63].…”

“…Meanwhile, the augmented fusion threads in the presence of metal elements, and mineral deposits, graphene, crystal, or graphite sliced fibers, most newly, constant fibers appear to be the most appealing. [6][7][8][9] With the help of uninterrupted normal fibers as a replacement for ceramic fibers is of special relevance for a variety of industrial applications due to its mechanical and acoustic qualities, as well as its edge organization and optimistic contribution to charcoal reduction. Environmental 3D printed products are now manufactured by mixing lengthy normal fibers and molten flexible matrix that are synchronously immersed on a heated lump and deposited.…”

Additive manufacturing is accelerating in hypersonic speed, which touched upon almost all the nook and corners of the manufacturing sector. The present stage wherein a 3D printer is capable of printing queer hybrid materials was not imagined through conventional manufacturing albeit it is meager existence in a few instances. Its expendable arms stretch to the maximum level that is even clearly addressed in Industry 4.0 too, by making at least a printer in a company for printing specific customized materials. The dream of printing composite material was been a long‐term goal for researchers worldwide. This article primarily focuses on this niche area of printing natural fiber composite materials that too specifically jute fiber‐reinforced composites. Very few pieces of literature are available on additive manufacturing of specific natural fibers. As the technique for printing natural fiber‐reinforced composites is still under evolution, this study will be more interesting as it consolidates the facts and figures involved in 3D of jute fiber reinforced composites alone. Different forms of jute fibers used by the researchers include weaved jute, jute as continuous fiber, filament along with jute, jute fiber as reinforcement, jute used as rope as well as jute fiber as cement matrix and all these forms have been addressed in this review.

“…Sustainable environmental evaluation of such an integrative approach could be a future trend. Besides these, model responsiveness was conducted recognizing only swarm number and size iteration; furthermore, the implications of acceleration coefficients, inertia weight, and velocity clamping-limit can be further explored [32][33][34][35][36].…”

The global temperature rise is a great alarming factor. The most remarkable contributors are industries and automobiles. Many researchers around the world struggling to find the solution sooner. Many emphasized that solution is required at the earliest possible time, already glaciers in arctic started melting. The majority of them, such as fossil fuels, coal well as others, have been contaminating the immediate area. There is also the option of using renewable energy resources (RERs) that also would be a natural treasure to humanity because of their proximity. Based on a variety of factors, the amount of energy that can be harvested by using RERs is limited, such as seasonal, inadequate equipment, as well as huge collection space. In this article, the emphasis is now on the extent to which other constraints can be utilized. Sectors that produce goods demand enormous amounts of energy, but that energy might indeed not be used in those sectors. As a result, the RERs can sometimes be extensively employed by households and small businesses whose power needs are minimal. As a result, this review has been consolidated in the way of several different test cases.
