Treatment of Natural Fibers

Original language description

Natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRC) are being widely researched to provide a sustainable and eco-friendly solution. Natural fibers are an annually renewable resource and provide additional advantages of low density and biodegradation. However, there are certain limitations associated with these fibers, e.g., moisture absorption, flammability, low strength, etc. To overcome these limitations, natural fibers are subjected to various physical and chemical treatments. The current chapter reviews different treatments used for natural fiber and their effect on the performance of NFRC. The chemical treatments for hydrophobicity include silane treatment, acetylation, etherification, benzoylation, dicumyl peroxide, and enzyme and peroxide treatment. Fiber treatments for other functional properties including flame retardancy, electrical conductivity, and antipathogen properties are also discussed in the chapter.
