A review on effect of nanoparticle addition on thermal behavior of natural fiber–reinforced composites

Always, the environment in which humans live needs to be saved from various calamities, and one such calamity is usage of petroleum-based products. Petroleum-based products are derived from various synthetic processes that adversely affect the environment. It may not reflect immediately, but it affe...

description Always, the environment in which humans live needs to be saved from various calamities, and one such calamity is usage of petroleum-based products. Petroleum-based products are derived from various synthetic processes that adversely affect the environment. It may not reflect immediately, but it affects in the near future. They are non-environmentally friendly and cannot progress toward the sustainability factor. The alternative to metallic or synthetic fibers is natural fibers that are derived from plant sources. The demerits of using natural fiber is its less strength; however, this strength can be enhanced by incorporating it as a strengthening component in polymer matrix composite (PMC) materials. Still, the major advantage of using metal is its ability to withstand higher temperatures, whereas PMCs fail in these characteristics. The use of nanoparticles as fillers in the natural fiber–reinforced PMCs is a probable solution to the above problem. This review assesses the thermal characteristics of various nanoparticle-filled natural fiber–based polymer composites. It can be seen from most of the research that the filled polymer composites exhibit better thermal behavior compared with non-filled polymer composites. This consolidation would be useful for researchers to further accelerate their research in this domain.
