“…Several techniques have been reported, such as water-repellent chemicals, coupling agents and heat treatments, by modifying the surface morphological, topological properties, roughness and water absorption index of the fibres [54][55][56]. As a result, research and technological effort has been reported fostering the improvement of crops quality and fibres performance on technical and economical perspective, aiming to provide new solutions and applications [57].…”

Natural Fibre Composites and Their Applications: A Review

There is significant work published in recent years about natural fibres polymeric composites. Most of the studies are about the characterization of natural fibres and their comparison with conventional composites regarding mechanical behaviour and application performance. There are dozens of types of natural fibres with different properties influencing their use, or not, in specific industrial applications. The natural origin of these materials causes, in general, a wide range of variations in properties depending mainly on the harvesting location and conditions, making it difficult to select the appropriate fibre for a specific application. In this paper, a comprehensive review about the properties of natural fibres used as composite materials reinforcement is presented, aiming to map where each type of fibre is positioned in several properties. Recent published work on emergent types of fibres is also reviewed. A bibliometric study regarding applications of natural fibres composites is presented. A prospective analysis about the future trends of natural fibres applications and the required developments to broaden their applications is also presented and discussed.

“…The starting point of textile products is “fiber.” Fibers are distinguished by their high length to diameter ratio ( McIntyre and Daniels, 1995 ), which is typically over several hundred times for textile fibers. Natural fibers used for textiles include plant-based seed fibers (e.g., cotton, kapok), bast fibers (e.g., flax, jute, hemp), leaf fibers (e.g., abaca, manila), and animal-based fibers (e.g., wool, silk, alpaca) ( Eichhorn et al., 2009 ; Todor et al., 2018 ). Prominent man-made fibers include synthetic fibers such as polyamide (PA); PET; polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); polypropylene; polyvinyl chloride; polyethylene; regenerated cellulose fibers such as lyocell, viscose, and modal; and other high-performance fibers ( Foster et al., 2018 ; Wanasekara et al, 2016 , 2012 ; Wanasekara and Eichhorn, 2017 ; Zhu et al., 2016a , 2016b ).…”

Towards Truly Wearable Systems: Optimizing and Scaling Up Wearable Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Summary Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an upcoming technology to harvest energy from ambient movements. A major focus herein is harvesting energy from human movements through wearable TENGs, which are constructed by integrating nanogenerators into clothing or accessories. Textile-based TENGs, which include fiber, yarn, and fabric-based TENG structures, account for the majority of wearable TENGs, with many designs and applications demonstrated recently. This calls for a comprehensive analysis of textile-based TENG technology, and how the state-of-the-art device optimization concepts can be deployed to construct them efficiently. Concurrently, how advanced engineering concepts and industrial manufacturing techniques, which are bound with fiber, yarn, and fabric-related developments, can be applied into the TENG context for their output enhancement is still under investigation. Herein, we fill this vital gap by analyzing the state-of-the-art developments, upcoming trends, output optimization strategies, scalability, and prospects of the textile-based TENG technology, presenting a textile engineering perspective.

“…In this scenario, especially bast fibers are gaining interest in the field of high-performance natural fibers. These bast fibers include flax and jute and are immediately attractive as they possess comparable tensile strength and stiffness as that of glass fiber and contain favorable vibration damping and non-abrasive properties [ 119 ]. The intention of making the natural fibers to compete with synthetic fibers in terms of performance has resulted in a huge number of modifications to the natural fibers.…”

Multiple environmental concerns such as garbage generation, accumulation in disposal systems and recyclability are powerful drivers for the use of many biodegradable materials. Due to the new uses and requests of plastic users, the consumption of biopolymers is increasing day by day. Polylactic Acid (PLA) being one of the most promising biopolymers and researched extensively, it is emerging as a substitute for petroleum-based polymers. Similarly, owing to both environmental and economic benefits, as well as to their technical features, natural fibers are arising as likely replacements to synthetic fibers to reinforce composites for numerous products. This work reviews the current state of the art of PLA compounds reinforced with two of the high strength natural fibers for this application: flax and jute. Flax fibers are the most valuable bast-type fibers and jute is a widely available plant at an economic price across the entire Asian continent. The physical and chemical treatments of the fibers and the production processing of the green composites are exposed before reporting the main achievements of these materials for structural applications. Detailed information is summarized to understand the advances throughout the last decade and to settle the basis of the next generation of flax/jute reinforced PLA composites (200 Maximum).
