“…The study allowed concluding that the carbon nanofibers improved the dispersion within the matrix resulted in better mechanical properties. [441] Ramakrishnan et al established that jute fiber treated with NaOH, together with Cloisite 20A nano-clay, is one of the best reinforcements for the development of epoxy-based polymer matrix composites. [442] Roy et al explained the synergistic effect of short jute fiber and stearic acid modified nanoclay in natural rubber composites, and proposed the probable mechanism of interaction between jute fiber and stearic acid modified nanoclay, which is shown in Figure 33.…”

Environmental awareness across the world has motivated researchers to focus their attention on the use of cellulosic fiber as reinforcement in polymer matrices.Lignocellulosic fibers are an abundantly available resource in all countries, which is cheap and easily renewable. Also, due to their properties, cellulosic plant fibers exhibit a great potential for use in polymer reinforcement. As a result, considerable research and development efforts have been directed towards the use of cellulosic fibers as a reinforcing material in composites. The use of cellulosic fiber reinforced composites has continuously increased during recent years, which benefits the cultivation of fiber plants and the economy of the country. This research area continues to be of interest to both industry and academia, the use of cellulosic fibers in composite applications being investigated throughout the world. Cellulosic fiber reinforced composites are reasonably strong, lightweight, harmless to human health and the environment, and biodegradable, hence they have the potential to be used in various applications. Recent progress in cellulosic fiber composites research has illustrated their great potential as structural components in automobiles, aerospace structures, construction, and building, and so forth. This study is an effort to create awareness about the research works that have been published in the field of natural fiber composites. This review briefly illustrates the main paths and results of major research published in the field of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. The topics covered include the aspects of fiber treatment to improve the mechanical properties of the composites, manufacturing methods, performance of hybrid composites, effect of laminate configuration, and many different applications of natural fiber composites.By presenting a systematic view of the work performed in this area so far, this review will hopefully serve as a starting point for the development of new ideas in the research on natural fiber polymer composites.

“…For these reasons, this has gained enhanced attention as a reinforcing filler in various types of polymers. In this regard, some researchers have recently worked on various properties of CNF‐enhanced polymers . One of the major concerns about the fabrication of nanocomposites is to obtain a homogenous dispersion of nanofillers within the matrix .…”

This work focuses on the preparation and characterization of multiscale epoxymatrix composites reinforced by basalt fibers and carbon nanofiber (CNF). CNF powders were first functionalized with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis; then, the epoxy resin was incorporated with 0.05 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 0.3 wt%, and 0.5 wt% f-CNF. The influence of functionalized-CNF (f-CNF) loading on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), tensile, and wear behaviors of the multiscale basalt fiber/epoxy composites was studied. Whereas a relatively small improvement (12%) in tensile strength was achieved, a remarkable enhancement in ILSS (73%) was obtained for the multiscale specimen with an f-CNF loading of 0.3 wt%. Also, the multiscale specimen filled with 0.5 wt% f-CNF showed an improvement of 37% in tensile modulus. The wear rate and friction coefficient of the 0.3 wt% f-CNF loaded composite were decreased by 56% and 38% with respect to the neat specimen, respectively. To establish the microstructure-property relationship, the worn and fractured surfaces of the specimens were analyzed.

As one of the most commonly used thermoplastics, polyester has rarely been used as the raw materials of 3D printing. However, copolyester obtained by copolymerization modifying polyester, such as Poly Ethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG), has been proven to be suitable for the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique in previous studies, but the mechanical performance of printed products is still poor. In this paper, 3D printed PETG is in‐situ reinforced by continuous carbon fiber (CCF), and the relationship between the process parameters and the mechanical performance of CCF/PETG is systematically investigated. The results show that the performance of 3D printed PETG is significantly enhanced by CCF in‐situ reinforcement due to the effectively impregnation of CCF. By optimizing process parameters, the tensile strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus of CCF/PETG are 597%, 293% and 650% of pure PETG, respectively, with a relatively low fiber mass fraction of 19.2 wt%. This paper demonstrates that CCF in‐situ reinforced 3D printed copolyester may be used in the manufacture of complex structural parts that require high mechanical performance in the engineering application.
