RbstractThe need to develop and commercialize materials containing vegetal fibers has grown in order to reduce environmental impact and reach sustainability. Large amounts of lignocellulosic materials are generated around the world from several human activities. The lignocellulosic materials are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, extractives and ashes. Recently these constituents have been used in different applications; in particular, cellulose has been the subject of numerous works on the development of composite materials reinforced with natural fibers. Many studies have led to composite materials reinforced with fibers to improve the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. Furthermore, lignocellulosic materials have been treated to apply in innovative solutions for efficient and sustainable systems. This paper aims to review the lignocellulosic fibers characteristics, as well as to present their applications as reinforcement in composites of different polymeric matrices.

“…Mengkuang leaves contain about 37.3% of cellulose fibers with crystallinity of 69.5% and its cellulose nanocrystals has an aspect ratio in the range 10-20 . A group of researchers in Malaysia used woven leaf fibre mats of a pandanus plant for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (USP) matrix Mariatti et al 2008). The mechanical properties, as well as the water absorption of the composite, is higher than the matrix; however, they have not been examined for cellulose isolation.…”

“…This hydroxyl groups present in cellulose and hemicelluloses provide easy access to water in to composites. Besides that, there are many other factors such as porosity, void content, lumen size, and fibre-matrix adhesion also effect water absorption behaviour of the composites [33]. The inter-fibrillar spaces of cellulosic structure of natural fibres contain water molecules that crack and micro voids at the surface of composites [34].…”

Abstract. Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) was hybridized with kenaf fibre in order to achieve superior physical and flammability performance. The mixing effects of kenaf fibre and pineapple leaf fibre in phenolic composites are evaluated at various fibre ratios and investigated various physical properties such as density, void content water absorption, thickness swelling and flammability. Pure kenaf fibre composite showed lowest void content, water absorption and thickness swelling while pineapple leaf fibre revealed the opposite trend. After adding pineapple leaf fibre in kenaf composites, it absorbed more moisture and developed more void contents. Density of PALF composite was lower and kenaf fibre composite was highest but PALF/kenaf hybrid composite increased density with higher PALF. The flammability of hybrid composites were analysed by using UL-94 test method. Vertical and horizontal UL-94 test conducted to analyse fire resistance of composites from different angles. Phenolic resin is itself a fire resistant polymer and the percentage of polymer in all samples are fixed though ratios of both fibres pineapple leaf fibre and kenaf were change to analyse fire resistant of fibres and compatibility with polymers. The 70 % pineapple leaf fibre and 30 % kenaf fibre hybrid composites were very affective to improve the flammability of PALF/KF hybrid composites. 1.Introduction As far as the environment is the concern, renewable resources of materials are the best alternative material of good economic potential and protection of nature, since, the renewable resources are characterized as biodegradable and recyclable, lignocellulosic fibres belong to this category [1]. Nowadays, natural fibres as reinforced material have been increased considerably due its low price compared to synthetic fibers [2]. Waste management of lignocellulosic and renewable materials and poor mechanical strength and thermal stability of polymers can be improved by developing natural fibres reinforced polymer composites [3][4][5]. Some plants fibres have potential to be applied in industries as raw materials such as pineapple, kenaf, coir, abaca, sisal, cotton, jute, bamboo, banana, Palmyra, talipot, hemp, and flex [6][7]. Pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) is one of the waste materials in agriculture sector, which is widely grown in Malaysia as well as Asia. After banana and citrus, pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of the most essential tropical fruits in the world [8]. Natural fibres influenced mechanical strength due to chemical composition such as to cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and its orientation and some other factors such as type of plant, environmental factors during growth as well as extraction methods used [9]. Usage of natural fibre can replace synthetic fibres to minimise health hazards, low density and high flexibility [10].Recently, polymer hybrid composites have become the attraction into production of mechanical stable and renewable products [11]. Polymer hybrid composites are formed by incorporating two and
