摘要
日益增长的环境问题，道德考虑，以及对可持续材料的需求不断增长，加速了植物纤维纯素皮革的发展，作为传统动物皮革的有前途的替代品。大多数纯素皮革材料被设计成复合结构，其中增强植物纤维基材提供实际应用所需的机械强度、柔韧性和耐用性。由于增强材料在很大程度上决定了这些复合材料的整体性能和应用潜力，本综述旨在通过文献计量学指导分析，批判性地评估植物纤维基纯素皮革的全球研究趋势、新兴主题和知识差距。我们从Lens.org、Web of Science和b谷歌Scholar网站上检索了2012年至2025年间发表的出版物，并使用VOSviewer对出版物趋势、作者合作、机构贡献和主题演变进行了分析。分析显示，研究活动大幅增加，特别是在2019年至2022年期间，反映出对可持续生物材料的科学兴趣日益浓厚。大麻和黄麻仍然是最广泛研究的增强纤维，而菠萝叶纤维（PALF）已成为一种有前途的材料，具有相当大的创新潜力。研究越来越集中在可持续性、生物技术、生物基复合材料、材料性能、循环经济原则和对环境负责的纺织品加工方面。然而，该领域继续显示出社会经济、政策和工业观点的有限整合，而合作研究网络仍然相对集中。本综述确定了与生命周期评估、制造过程标准化、性能基准和工业可扩展性相关的关键研究差距。通过将文献计量学证据与批判性分析相结合，本综述确定了可持续植物纤维皮革技术的当前研究趋势、知识差距和未来发展方向。图形抽象
A bibliometric-guided review of circular design and sustainable processing of plant fibre-based vegan leather
Growing environmental concerns, ethical considerations, and the increasing demand for sustainable materials have accelerated the development of plant fibre-based vegan leather as a promising alternative to conventional animal leather. Most vegan leather materials are engineered as composite structures in which reinforcing plant fibre substrates provide the mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability required for practical applications. As the reinforcement material largely determines the overall performance and application potential of these composites, this review aims to critically evaluate global research trends, emerging themes, and knowledge gaps in plant fibre-based vegan leather through a bibliometric-guided analysis. Publications published between 2012 and 2025 were retrieved from Lens.org, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, and analysed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, author collaborations, institutional contributions, and thematic evolution. The analysis revealed a substantial increase in research activity, particularly between 2019 and 2022, reflecting growing scientific interest in sustainable biomaterials. Hemp and jute remain the most extensively investigated reinforcement fibres, whereas pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) has emerged as a promising material with considerable innovation potential. Research has increasingly focused on sustainability, biotechnology, bio-based composites, material performance, circular economy principles, and environmentally responsible textile processing. However, the field continues to show limited integration of socio-economic, policy, and industrial perspectives, while collaborative research networks remain relatively centralized. This review identifies critical research gaps related to life cycle assessment, fabrication process standardization, performance benchmarking, and industrial scalability. By integrating bibliometric evidence with critical analysis, this review identifies current research trends, knowledge gaps, and future directions for the development of sustainable plant fibre-based leather technologies.
