Abstract

Natural fibre composites (NFC) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional synthetic fibre composites, primarily attributed to their inherent environmental friendliness and sustainable nature. This review comprehensively evaluates the recent advancements in NFC concerning their thermal, mechanical, and sustainable attributes. The investigation encompasses a detailed analysis of influential factors, including fibre properties, chemical treatment, hybridization, particle addition, environmental conditions, and fabrication methods, with a specific focus on their impact on the mechanical and thermal behaviour of NFC. In the case of thermal performance, the review scrutinizes key aspects such as thermal conductivity, heat resistance, and flame retardancy of NFC. Emphasis is placed on understanding the significance of sustainability in NFC, encompassing discussions on environmental effects, sustainable material selection, and life cycle assessment. The critical assessment provided by this research offers insights into the intricate interplay of various factors shaping the thermal, mechanical, and sustainability characteristics of NFC. Overall, this review aims to furnish a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape in NFC, providing valuable insights into their thermal, mechanical, and sustainable attributes.
