TL;DR: A critical review of the background of natural fiber composites, factors influencing the composite properties, chemical interaction between the fiber and matrices, future potentiality, and marketing perspectives for triggering new research works in the field of biocomposite materials is presented in this paper.
Abstract: The expansion of environment-friendly materials based on natural sources increases dramatically in terms of biodegradable, recyclable, and environmental disputes throughout the world. Plant-based natural fiber, a high potential field of the reinforced polymer composite material, is considered as lightweight and economical products as they possess lower density, significant material characteristics, and extraordinary molding flexibility. The usage of plant fibers on the core structure of composite materials have drawn significant interest by the manufacturers to meet the increasing demand of the consumers for sustainable features with enhanced mechanical performances and functionalities. The plant fiber-based composites have widespread usage in construction, automotive, packaging, sports, biomedical, and defense sectors for their superior characteristics. Therefore, this critical review would demonstrate an overview regarding the background of natural fiber composites, factors influencing the composite properties, chemical interaction between the fiber and matrices, future potentiality, and marketing perspectives for triggering new research works in the field of biocomposite materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, chemical, thermal, crystallographic, density, mechanical and morphological characterizations of Chrysanthemum morifolium stem fibers were examined, and a novel sustainable ecological reinforcement fiber for green polymer composites with low density, reasonable tensile strength, high surface hydrophobicity and high surface roughness was suggested.
Abstract: Natural fiber reinforced green composites have been attracting high attention nowadays, as the green movement in the world forced companies to use green materials instead of synthetic fibre reinforced composites. In this respect, the aim of the study is to investigate usage possibility of undervalued Chrysanthemum morifolium stem fibers as a new reinforcement of composite materials. Chemical, thermal, crystallographic, density, mechanical and morphological characterizations of the C. morifolium fibers were examined. Crystallinity Index, density and tensile strength values were found as 65.18%, 1.33 g/cm3 and 65.12 MPa, respectively. Chrysanthemum morifolium has a low cellulose content of 32.9% while the thermal resistance temperature was determined as 267.5 °C. Although its cellulose content is low, C. morifolium fiber can be a good alternative for many other reinforcement plant fibers in terms of tensile strength. The high tensile strength of the fiber can be attributed to the high crystallinity index and fiber morphology advantage (low lumen diameter and thick cell wall). Hollow fiber morphology can increase the insulation and absorption properties of the fibers and can also create a usage area in lightweight composites by providing low density. This study suggests a novel sustainable ecological reinforcement fiber for green polymer composites with low density, reasonable tensile strength, high surface hydrophobicity and high surface roughness.

Abstract: Plant fibers are rich in cellulose and they are a cheap, easily renewable source of fibers with the potential for polymer reinforcement. The presence of surface impurities and the large amount of hydroxyl groups make plant fibers less attractive for reinforcement of polymeric materials. Hemp, sisal, jute, and kapok fibers were subjected to alkalization by using sodium hydroxide. The thermal characteristics, crystallinity index, reactivity, and surface morphology of untreated and chemically modified fibers have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (WAXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Following alkalization the DSC showed a rapid degradation of the cellulose between 0.8 and 8% NaOH, beyond which degradation was found to be marginal. There was a marginal drop in the crystallinity index of hemp fiber while sisal, jute, and kapok fibers showed a slight increase in crystallinity at caustic soda concentration of 0.8–30%. FTIR showed that kapok fiber was found to be the most reactive followed by jute, sisal, and then hemp fiber. SEM showed a relatively smooth surface for all the untreated fibers; however, after alkalization, all the fibers showed uneven surfaces. These results show that alkalization modifies plant fibers promoting the development of fiber–resin adhesion, which then will result in increased interfacial energy and, hence, improvement in the mechanical and thermal stability of the composites. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
