Abstract
Bio-based materials are becoming pivotal in creating a more sustainable future by mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, primarily motivated by fossil fuel consumption. Among these materials, natural fiber composites have seen a resurgence over the past two decades due to the demand for environmentally friendly alternatives that offer biodegradability and recyclability. These composites are widely used in industries such as automotive, packaging, sports, construction, and consumer products. Hemp fiber, in particular, is valued for its exceptional mechanical properties, including strength and stiffness comparable to glass fibers. This review consolidates research on hemp fiber–reinforced bio-composites, focusing on their structural characteristics, and performance enhancement techniques. Both chemical and physical modification strategies are employed to optimize fiber properties and improve compatibility with polymer matrices. Chemical methods involve using reagents to reduce fiber hydrophilicity, enhancing compatibility and coupling efficiency. Physical methods adjust fiber structure and surface properties to improve interfacial bonding, offering cleaner solutions. The paper examines recent advancements in these methods and discusses the mechanical properties of hemp fiber–reinforced bio-composites. It concludes with reflections on the future prospects for hemp fiber–reinforced polymer bio-composites.
期刊介绍：
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
