“…However, there is still not enough knowledge about the important prerequisites for achieving the desired properties, such as the quality and quantity of the fibers in the thermoplastic matrix, the fibers' compatibility, dispersion, orientation, etc. According to the current knowledge of Tanjung and Zulkepli reported in [32], the incorporation of wool fibers into thermoplastic matrices generating composites is always accompanied by a deterioration of the strength parameters compared to those of virgin thermoplastic polymers. Therefore, in connection with the environmental requirements to save non-renewable resources, it can be expected that in the foreseeable future, more numerous studies leading to a deep understanding of essential phenomena will be published.…”

The presented review is focused on a brief overview of the scientific works on the use of sheep wool outside the textile industry that were published in recent years. The focus of the information is the on construction industry, which is a significant consumer of heat- and sound-insulating materials. With its properties, sheep wool can compete very well with insulators made from non-renewable resources. Other building elements can also be combined with wool, as long as they are used in appropriate conditions. Due to its chemical and physical structure, wool is extremely suitable for the adsorption removal of pollutants from the living and working environment, in native or modified form. Wool can also be used in recycling processes. However, each application must be preceded by an investigation of the optimal conditions of the given process, which offers researchers inspiration and interesting topics for research.

“…Natural fibers can come from animals (such as wool, hair and silk) [10], minerals (asbestos, graphite, and glass) [11,12] and plants. Plant fibers are the most popular natural fibers used as composite materials, such as jute [13], sisal [14], kenaf [15], palm [16] and abaca fibers [17].…”

The paper reported the study on the tensile strength of polymer composite reinforced with abaca fiber and polyester matrix. The effect of fiber weight content and fiber orientation on the tensile strength of the abaca composite were investigated in the study. The abaca composite panel was fabricated using press method with 3 levels of the fiber weight content (20%, 30% and 40%) and 3 levels of fiber orientation (00, 450 and 900). The tensile specimen was prepared according to ASTM D3039 standard. The tensile test was conducted using MTS Landmark servo hydraulic testing machine with a tensile speed of 2 mm/min. The result of the experiment showed that both of fiber weight content and fiber orientation gave significant effect on the tensile strength of the abaca composite. The highest tensile strength was 61.9 MPa, produced by the abaca composite panel with fiber weight content 30% and fiber orientation 00. According to the standard, the tensile strength has fulfilled the requirements as a non-structural material.
