“…However, the authors identified an optimum fiber length for the tensile and flexural properties. For all volume fractions, the flexural properties degrade in wet condition, whereas, the IS did not indicate degradation, even; it significantly increased for all fiber lengths A work reported (Babu et al, 2020) that strain energy density and toughness of the composites were increased with an increase in matrix content (40 Wt.% to 60 Wt.%) and a decrease in fiber length (from 0.6 mm to 0.2 mm) for sisal-epoxy composite, manufactured up by hand layup technique. Shibata et al (2005) examined the influence of the fiber volume fraction and length on the flexural properties of press molded biocomposite made of kenaf and bagasse with corn starch as the matrix.…”

Purpose The study aims to review the literatures on the effect of fiber length on the mechanical response of natural fiber composite will help the researchers to know about the perspective of the various natural fibers in making of composite concerning fiber length. The review summarized the work of the other researchers, thereby unambiguously précised suitability of a specific natural fiber for a matrix in use. Thus, one can identify the use of the same fibers–matrix combination to obtain composites with different properties with the control of fiber/matrix interface. Design/methodology/approach The review work proposes a new kind of diagrammatic representation that expresses the influence of fiber length. This work has not been explored before in this specific format. The chronology of work may help to select natural fibers for use in composites for a specific matrix. Findings The length of the fiber perception in terms of “critical” length decides the need for pre-treatment process of natural fiber to improve shear stress at the interface for various matrices. Originality/value The current review paper attempts to shed light on the association between the fiber length of natural fiber and the mechanical response of natural fiber composite. Moreover, it probes the concepts of critical fiber length as a persuadable factor.
