A review on the limitations of natural fibres and natural fibre composites with emphasis on tensile strength using coir as a case study

Chioma Ifeyinwa Madueke et al.

Summary: Natural fibres, such as coir, jute, flax, and hemp, have been explored for technical applications. However, these fibres exhibit non-uniformity in terms of length, diameter, and cross-sectional area, which affects their tensile strength. The use of different diameters for the same type of fibre has also resulted in inconsistent tensile properties.

Improving the Alignment of Dynamic Sheet-Formed Mats by Changing Nozzle Geometry and Their Reinforcement of Polypropylene Matrix Composites

Tom Sunny et al.

Summary: The study found that with an increased contraction ratio of the nozzle in dynamic sheet forming, the orientation of fibers in the mats also increased, leading to an enhancement in the composite tensile strength.

Effect of fibre content on the mechanical properties of hemp fibre woven fabrics/polypropylene composite laminates

Sheedev Antony et al.

Summary: In this study, the mechanical properties of hemp fibre composite materials were tested, showing that the tensile strength increases, viscoelasticity decreases, natural frequency increases, and damping ratio decreases with the increase of fibre volume fraction.
