“…Plant fibers-such as hemp, oil palm, jute, curauá, bamboo, and kenafwhen incorporated in different composites, have multiple applications in the construction industry [43,60,68,73,153,[219][220][221]. In addition, the plant fibers can also be used as potential materials for insulation, acoustic, and architectural applications, i.e., subtypes of construction and building materials [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Plant fibers are considered to be more appropriate materials to meet the needs of the modern era, such as three-dimensional flexibility and forest management, while achieving a building that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.…”

“…Figure 2 depicts the natural plant fibers' broader classification, as presented in [14]. Almost 2000 types of plant fibers are available globally, e.g., wheat straw, coir, palm, kenaf, sugarcane bagasse, cotton, bamboo, basalt/wool, flax, corn, hemp, hay, jute, henequen, ramie, sisal, banana, and pineapple leaf [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Some plant fibers are shown in Figure 3.…”

Sustainable development involves the usage of alternative sustainable materials in order to sustain the excessive depletion of natural resources. Plant fibers, as a “green” material, are progressively gaining the attention of various researchers in the field of construction for their potential use in composites for stepping towards sustainable development. This study aims to provide a scientometric review of the summarized background of plant fibers and their applications as construction and building materials. Studies from the past two decades are summarized. Quantitative assessment of research progress is made by using connections and maps between bibliometric data that are compiled for the analysis of plant fibers using Scopus. Data refinement techniques are also used. Plant fibers are potentially used to enhance the mechanical properties of a composite. It is revealed from the literature that plant-fiber-reinforced composites have comparable properties in comparison to composites reinforced with artificial/steel fibers for civil engineering applications, such as construction materials, bridge piers, canal linings, soil reinforcement, pavements, acoustic treatment, insulation materials, etc. However, the biodegradable nature of plant fibers is still a hindrance to their application as a structural material. For this purpose, different surface and chemical treatment methods have been proposed in past studies to improve their durability. It can be surmised from the gathered data that the compressive and flexural strengths of plant-fiber-reinforced cementitious composites are increased by up to 43% and 67%, respectively, with respect to a reference composite. In the literature, alkaline treatment has been reported as an effective and economical method for treating plant fibers. Environmental degradation due to excessive consumption of natural resources and fossil fuels for the construction industry, along with the burning of waste plant fibers, can be reduced by incorporating said fibers in cementitious composites to reduce landfill pollution and, ultimately, achieve sustainable development.

“…Nowadays, the use of green and sustainable products in the building industry has a growing interest being a common practice today as an alternative to the traditional synthetic materials such as glass wool, foams or rock wool, widely used for noise control applications (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). These show high efficiency in noise reduction or thermal insulation.…”

“…Samaei et al (6) studied experimentally and theoretically the acoustical and thermal properties of composites made of kenaf natural fibers when these were treated chemically with an alkaline treatment. Taban et al (7) characterized morphological, acoustical, mechanical and thermal properties from fibers extracted from the leaves of Yucca and treated chemically. Yun et al (8) showed the possibility of using sound-absorbing materials made of coffee waste inside commercial spaces through a novel technique for recycling this type of waste.…”

This work is a study about new acoustic panels made of cork granulates coming from stopper by-products to be used as acoustic ceilings tiles, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional building materials. Cork granulates were bonded with water-based epoxy and acrylic resins. The obtained panels were acoustically and mechanically tested. The results showed values of sound absorption coefficient close to 0.50 and acceptable flexural strength for their use as suspended ceiling tiles. Therefore, these bio-based panels could be used as an alternative product to the traditional materials used for noise control applications inside commercial spaces like closed entertainment areas.

“…The density of spruce bark-based boards ranged from 400 to 500 kg/m 3 , and that for larch bark-based boards ranged from 500 to 700 kg/m 3 . The analysis of the results showed that such bark panels have comparable values of the sound absorption coefficient to lignocellulosic insulation materials, and it is possible to describe them as a material with the potential to meet the acoustic functions in boundary structures [58,59].…”

The potential of tree bark, a by-product of the woodworking industry, has been studied for more than seven decades. Bark, as a sustainable raw material, can replace wood or other resources in numerous applications in construction. In this study, the acoustic properties of bark-based panels were analyzed. The roles of the particle size (4–11 mm and 10–30 mm), particle orientation (parallel and perpendicular) and density (350–700 kg/m3) of samples with 30 mm and 60 mm thicknesses were studied at frequencies ranging from 50 to 6400 Hz. Bark-based boards with fine-grained particles have been shown to be better in terms of sound absorption coefficient values compared with coarse-grained particles. Bark composites mixed with popcorn bonded with UF did not return the expected results, and it is not possible to recommend this solution. The best density of bark boards to obtain the best sound absorption coefficients is about 350 kg/m3. These lightweight panels achieved better sound-absorbing properties (especially at lower frequencies) at higher thicknesses. The noise reduction coefficient of 0.5 obtained a sample with fine particles with a parallel orientation and a density of around 360 kg/m3.
