Natural fibres and their composites: a review of chemical composition, properties, retting methods, and industrial applications
摘要
Several scientists along with commercial performers are looking into potential applications for natural fibres with the objective to improve awareness of the environment, safeguard nature, and boost the economy as a whole. Natural fibres generated from plants are gaining popularity among material specialists due to their long-term viability, biodegradability, sustainability, and recyclable properties. The intricate structure that makes up plant fibres and their mechanical characteristics have a close connection. Therefore, comprehending the fundamental qualities of natural fibres is critical for determining the best-intended usage, such as exceptional bio-composite input. This review intends to provide a survey of the primary findings provided in previous studies on this topic, with particular emphasis on the characteristics of natural fibres in terms of their chemical and physical framework, thermal and mechanical attributes, extraction methods, chemical processing, as well as applications for natural fibre composite materials.
