A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the most appropriate and widely used natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) and their applications is presented in this paper. But, the results of the review are limited due to the high water absorption, inferior fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties of NFPCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The thermal and crystallisation studies of short sisal fibre reinforced polypropylene composites
P. V. Joseph,Kuruvilla Joseph,Sabu Thomas,C.K.S. Pillai,V.S. Prasad,Gabriël Groeninckx,Mariana Sarkissova +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, chemical modifications were made to sisal fiber using a urethane derivative of polypropylene glycol (PPG/TDI), maleic anhydride modified polypropylon (MAPP), and KMnO4 in order to improve the interfacial adhesion between the fibre and matrix.

Influence of processing and chemical treatment of flax fibres on their composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the flax processing parameters, and consequently of the fibre properties, on the mechanical properties of flax fibre reinforced epoxy composites was pointed out, and a treatment consisting of a combination of alkali and dilute epoxy gave the highest improvement of the flexural properties.
