“…The diameter of untreated jute fibers is found to be 55 ± 12 μm, shown in Figure d. After alkali treatment, we observe that the diameter of the jute fibers (HA 0.5) is reduced by 23.5% to 43 ± 8 μm, which is in agreement with previous studies. ,, The reduction of fiber diameter may be due to the removal of hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin. ,, However, coating of graphene materials onto HA 0.5-treated jute fibers shows an overall increase in the fiber diameter. As expected, the diameter of GO-coated fibers increases with the increase of GO concentration, shown in Figure d.…”

Natural fiber composites are attracting significant interest due to their potential for replacing synthetic composites at lower cost with improved environmental sustainability. However, natural fiber composites suffer from poor mechanical and interfacial properties. Here, we report coating of graphene oxide (GO) and graphene flakes (G) onto natural jute fibers to improve mechanical and interfacial properties. The coating of graphene materials onto jute fibers enhanced interfacial shear strength by ∼236% and tensile strength by ∼96% more than untreated fibers by forming either bonding (GO) or mechanical interlocking (G) between fibers and graphene-based flakes. This could lead to manufacturing of high-performance and environmental friendly natural fiber composites that can potentially replace synthetic composites in numerous applications, such as the automotive industry, naval vessels, household products, and even in the aerospace industry.

“…The use of natural fiber composites has increased due to the unlimited availability of natural fibers, their relative cheapness compared to conventional materials such as glass and aramid fibers, multi-functionality, their ability to be recycled, and for the fact that they compete well in terms of strength per unit weight of material [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Natural fibers like jute, flax, hemp coir and sisal have all proved to be good reinforcement in thermoset and thermoplastic matrices and have been used in automotive applications, construction as well as in packaging industries [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

This paper summarizes the structural characterization of borassus fruit fibers by means of various characterization techniques, optimization of alkali treatment of borassus fruit fine fibers (BFF) with a 5% concentration sodium hydroxide solution for different time intervals (1, 4, 8 and 12 h) and the changes occurring in borassus fibers. This paper also discusses the manufacturing of BFF/PP compotes using MAPP as a compatibilizer in addition to alkali treatment. Composites were evaluated for their mechanical and morphological properties. The tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus and impact strength were increased for alkali treated/MAPP composites by 4.5%, 17%, 17.2 %, 9% and 10% respectively.

A new class of green material has been elaborated by grafting the modified kapok fiber, by the means of azidated kapok fiber followed by "click-chemistry" reaction with the terminal alkyne crosslinker. The modified and synthesized product was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study also was undertaken to investigate the effect on the absorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution onto the click fiber prepared. The findings showed that the click kapok absorbed more compared to the untreated kapok. Based on the result, the reaction of click chemistry influenced the properties of the filter made from kapok fiber.
