Targeted pre-treatment of hemp bast fibres for optimal performance in biocomposite materials: A review

Abstract: Global interest in the use of plant fibres in natural fibre reinforced composites (NFCs) is growing rapidly. The increased interest is primarily due to the advantageous properties of natural fibres including biodegradability, low cost, low density and high stiffness and strength to weight ratio. In order to achieve strong NFCs, well separated and celluloserich fibres are required. Hemp is taking a center stage in this regard as a source of suitable natural plant cellulose fibres because natural hemp bast fibre… Show more

“…Thus, the carbon fibers decreased the ability of moisture to transfer to the material. On the other hand, the water absorption was mainly due to the amorphous regions . As the carbon‐fiber content increased, the crystallinity of the material increased, and the water absorption decreased .…”

“…It is known from many reported papers that incorporation of natural fibers from approximately 20 to 35 wt % in polymer composites is the most appropriate amount to achieve optimum technical and economic benefits and addition of more fiber does not lead to any significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of the fiber composites [79,80].…”

“…The mechanical properties (tensile strength, Young's modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus) of polylactic acid (PLA) composites reinforced with hybrid sisal and hemp fiber (30 wt %) were improved compared to neat PLA [83]. The dried hemp and sisal fiber (a by-product from the production process in industry, where the leaves of the plant are predominantly used) [79] were aligned and granulated into 4 mm lengths and further processed/blended through extrusion and injection molding [83]. Thus, it is possible to replace 30%-40% by mass of the matrix with fibers (a by-product from the production process in industry, where the leaves of the plant are predominantly used) [81].…”

“…En cuanto a mezclas de biopolímeros con fibras naturales, estas son un verdadero biocompuesto pues tanto la fase continua como la dispersa son biodegradables. Las fibras vegetales ofrecen características como producción sostenible, menor densidad respecto a cargas minerales y baja abrasión sobre la maquinaria de proceso (Liu et al, 2017;Mohanty et al, 2000;Valdés et al, 2016).…”
