“…Enzyme treatment is progressively popular, with benefits related to environmental friendliness [170], and the reaction catalysed from this treatment is very specific, focusing on the particular performance required. It can be recycled after each use [62], but the discharge will affect the environment [171]. 9.5.…”

This paper highlights the physical and chemical surface modifications of plant fibre (PF) for attaining suitable properties as reinforcements in cementitious composites. Untreated PF faces insufficient adhesion between the fibres and matrix due to high levels of moisture absorption and poor wettability. These conditions accelerate degradation of the fibre in the composite. It is also essential to reduce the risk of hydrophilic PF conditions with surface modification, to enhance the mechanical properties of the fibres. Fibres that undergo chemical and physical modifications had been proven to exhibit improved fibre-matrix interfacial adhesion in the composite and contribute to better composite mechanical properties. This paper also gives some recommendations for future research on chemical and physical modifications of PF.

“…As water molecules permeate the PGRE composite, hydrolysis and plasticisation of the matrix occurred, impairing the bonding within the polymer chains [42]. Consequently, the interfacial bonding deteriorates and bond between polymer chains is impaired, which then reduces the stiffness of the PGRE composites [43].…”

“…It was inferred that the properties of the composites can be altered by modifying the kenaf fibers using chemical treatment. This way the natural fibers could exhibit either thermoset or thermoplastic behaviors to grant improvement in physical properties of composite material [5].Jute is the cheapest vegetal bast fibre and found in abundance in Bangladesh and India. The traditional use of jute fibre is to make hessian clothes, ropes, shopping bags and floor mats, etc.…”

Natural and synthetic fiber reinforced hybrid composites replacing conventional metals. Because of their improved properties such as higher strength, light weight, low cost, bio-degradable and green composite. An attempt made to find the impact strength of hybrid composites. The fiber in woven mat form is added to matrix element with varying stacking sequences of symmetrical laminates. Six types of hybrid laminate composites having basalt and Kevlar fibers are the reinforcements in varying stacking sequences are produced using hand lay-up technique followed by compression molding. The impact strength of the produced composites is evaluated. Experimental results found that composite having stacking sequences of K-B-K-B-K-B-K has the highest value of impact strength of 24 Joules respectively. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used to examine the morphology of fractured surface of hybrid composites during testing. SEM images revealed that hybrid composite with K-B-K-B-K-B-K had less defects on its fractured surface compared to other counter parts of the hybrid composites.
