“…It is noticed in this review that the type of discontinuous fibers (synthetic or natural) also brings significant effects on the properties of fiber-reinforced composites as shown in Figure 13. Furthermore, the functional characteristics of discontinuous reinforced composites are dependent on polymer matrix, adhesion between fibers and polymer matrix [53,55,129,161,162,163,175,176,177,178,179], fiber length distribution (FDL), orientation of fibers in matrix [53,158,180,181,182], packing densities [180], etc. Recent literature elaborates the difficulties associated with discontinuous fibers in the material processing stage that cause breakage of relatively long fibers during shear mixing in extrusion compounding and then 3D printing [183,184,185,186,187].…”
