“…Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are being widely used in aerospace, marine, automotive, and health care applications due to their sustainability, low cost, and ecofriendly nature. These composites can be manufactured through conventional and advanced manufacturing techniques to avoid internal and external defects [ 20 ]. The optimization of process parameters of composite manufacturing techniques is essential for manufacturing high-quality components.…”

This paper presents a study conducted on prepregs manufactured by a novel method for the impregnation of a thermoplastic matrix. Different composite prepregs based on polypropylene and reinforced with natural fibers (e.g., basalt and jute fibers) were developed. The mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. DMA tests were conducted at 1 Hz frequency and properties such as storage modulus and damping (tan δ) were evaluated. The overall mechanical properties of the basalt fiber composites were found to be superior to that of the jute fiber-based samples. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) of the composite samples showed that the thermal degradation temperatures of the basalt-based composites shifted to higher temperature regions compared to the PP or jute fiber composites. The addition of basalt fiber considerably improved the thermal stability of the composite samples. Microscopic images of the tensile fractured composite samples illustrated better fiber–matrix interfacial interaction due to the novel technology of prepregs. Single-ply and 2-ply prepregs showed significantly superior mechanical, thermal, and thermo-dynamical performance compared to the control sample (pure PP). 2-Ply composites demonstrated higher modulus, tensile strength, and storage modulus due to the higher fiber volume fraction. Basalt-based samples showed a minimum weight loss of about 57% up to 700 °C in contrast to 96.05% weight loss in the jute-based samples and 98.4% in the case of pure PP. The heat resistance index (THRI) is more than twice for basalt compared to jute and PP. Furthermore, the superior thermal stability of basalt is reflected in its DSC curves, showing the highest endothermic peak. The technique of using the resin in the form of thermoplastic yarns offers cost effective and efficient alternatives for composite manufacturing.

“…When self-healing epoxy composite embedded with HGF as a healing agent and underwent indentation and a three-point flexural test and results confirmed that there is good strength recovery in the composite after healing. These investigations stated that self-healing HGF polymers have strong potential and can be used for aerostructures [ 196 , 215 ].…”

Composites can be divided into three groups based on their matrix materials, namely polymer, metal and ceramic. Composite materials fail due to micro cracks. Repairing is complex and almost impossible if cracks appear on the surface and interior, which minimizes reliability and material life. In order to save the material from failure and prolong its lifetime without compromising mechanical properties, self-healing is one of the emerging and best techniques. The studies to address the advantages and challenges of self-healing properties of different matrix materials are very limited; however, this review addresses all three different groups of composites. Self-healing composites are fabricated to heal cracks, prevent any obstructed failure, and improve the lifetime of structures. They can self-diagnose their structure after being affected by external forces and repair damages and cracks to a certain degree. This review aims to provide information on the recent developments and prospects of self-healing composites and their applications in various fields such as aerospace, automobiles etc. Fabrication and characterization techniques as well as intrinsic and extrinsic self-healing techniques are discussed based on the latest achievements, including microcapsule embedment, fibers embedment, and vascular networks self-healing.

Considering sustainable environmental problems due to waste and the enormous potential of natural plant resources in producing natural fibers has encouraged researchers to make environmentally friendly composite materials reinforced with fibers. Several articles on using natural fibers as composite reinforcement have been collected and studied to produce this article. This article aims to comprehensively describe the physical properties, chemical composition, factors that affect fiber quality, and their relationship with mechanical properties. In the first section, we introduce the general classification of plant fibers and summarize the annual production and category of fiber origin used for fiber-reinforced composites. It then presents the parts of plants and plant species for fiber, including fruit, leaf, and seed fibers, and discuss their characteristics. Further describes the chemical compounds and physical and mechanical properties based on fiber sources. Based on our discussion, this review shows that plant fibers are very suitable as an alternative to polymer-based reinforcement materials due to low cost, renewable, and environmentally friendly composites. However, compatibility with synthetic polymers, dimensional stability and processability must be actively considered to replace synthetic fibers in various applications.
