Surface Modifications of Natural Fibers for use in Preparation of Biocomposites

Abstract

This century has observed unusual improvements in green materials through the development of biocomposites due to anxieties about the atmosphere and sustainability issues. These biocomposites can be effectively disposed of at the final existence without harming the environment, which is impossible with man-made fiber-based polymer composites. The natural fiber is not a problem-free option, and they maintain some shortfall features that are the considerable moisture assimilation and very anisotropicity. This review paper intends to give a short outline of various surface modification methods to improve the fiber–matrix adhesion influencing the significant enhancement of the mechanical properties of the biocomposites.
