“…Nature provides low‐cost fillers useful for biocomposite fabrication. For instance, Yadav and co‐workers [ 99 ] incorporated kenaf fiber (KF) and particulates from snail shell (PSS) into a polymeric matrix made of PE in a compression molding process at 180 °C and 0.2 MPa to make strong composites that were also affordable. Biocomposites with 5 to 20 wt.% KF and 2 to 6 wt.% PSS demonstrated improved hardness values.…”

“…Combining 4 wt.% PSS and 30 wt.% KF produced the highest tensile strength, while other combinations did not significantly alter the mechanical properties of the PSS/KF/bio‐PE composites. [ 99 ] Ionic liquids as plasticizers or green solvents for polymers have profound effect on polymer processability and the resultant materials properties. To understand these effects, Rakowska's research group [ 100 ] investigated the effect of relative humidity (RH) on biocomposites made of PE and flax or hemp fibers.…”

Polyethylene (PE), a highly prevalent non‐biodegradable polymer in the field of plastics, presents a waste management issue. To alleviate this issue, bio‐PE, derived from renewable resources like corn and sugarcane, offers an environmentally friendly alternative. This review discusses various production methods of bio‐PE, including fermentation, gasification, and catalytic conversion of biomass. Interestingly, the bio‐PE production volumes and market is expanding due to the growing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures. Additionally, the production of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites using agricultural waste as filler materials, highlights the growing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. According to previous studies, addition of about 50% defibrillated corn and abaca fibers into bio‐PE matrix and a compatibilizer, resulted in the highest Young's modulus of 4.61 and 5.81 GPa, respectively. These biocomposites have potential applications in automotive, building construction, and furniture industries. Moreover, the advancement made in abiotic and biotic degradation of PE and PE biocomposites is elucidated to address their environmental impacts. Finally, the paper concludes with insights into the opportunities, challenges, and future perspectives in the sustainable production and utilization of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites. Summed up, production of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites can contribute to a cleaner and sustainable future.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

“…Additionally, the optimisation of parameters in the manufacturing process plays a significant role in attaining the optimum results with bast hybrid composites. In this respect, the processing technique is directly dependent on the host matrix used, and the fibre structure/shape, and hence their intended applications, as shown in Figure 2 ( Table 3 ) [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. For instance, Indar Reddy and co-workers [ 34 ] studied the effect of the hybridisation of two matrices, i.e., polyester and epoxy resins, using a hand layup processing technique.…”

“…In the case of compression moulding, higher contents (30–50 wt.%) of fibres can be used to reinforced thermoplastic polymers [ 38 ]. The use of more than 30% of fibres within hybrid composites for other melting processing techniques has been reported to reduce the overall performance of the hybrid composites [ 41 , 42 ]. Different thermoplastic polymers, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), polypropylene, and polyethylene, have been employed for the preparation of bast hybrid composites [ 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

A Review on Bast-Fibre-Reinforced Hybrid Composites and Their Applications

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The development of eco-friendly products to protect the environment has become a topical subject in the research and industrial communities. This is a result of strict environmental regulations necessitating the development of novel strategies to reduce our reliance on petroleum-based products, which exert a negative effect on our ecosystem. Bast-fibre-based hybrids have been extensively studied for various applications due to their eco-friendliness and cost effectiveness. There is a very limited number of review articles covering the properties and preparation of bast-fibre-based hybrid composites. This review is designed to provide an overview of the preparation and application of bast-fibre-based hybrid composites. It covers the thermal properties, mechanical properties, moisture absorption and flame-retardant properties of bast hybrid composites. This review not only summarises recent advances on the use and preparation of bast hybrid composites, it also presents a future outlook.
