Abstract

Due to increased environmental campaigns, natural fibers (NF) are receiving much interest as cost-efficient substitutes for synthetic fibers for engineering applications because they are eco-friendly, lightweight, and have excellent mechanical strength. However, NF-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) sourced from plants and animals are hydrophilic, primarily incompatible with hydrophobic thermoplastics, and prone to moisture damage. To counter these challenges, there has been considerable attention to different optimization strategies for improving the properties of NFRPCs. This review encompasses the properties of various NFs (plants and animals) and the optimization strategies for enhancing interfacial shear strength and mechanical, fracture, and water absorption behavior. The review also covers the optimization strategies for improving the thermal, flame retardancy, temperature, and strain rate-dependent behavior of NFRPCs. Additionally, this review discussed optimization computational approaches, existing gaps in literature, and potential future directions for optimizing NFRPC development.

优化开发NFs增强聚合物复合材料的实验和计算方法：优化策略综述

由于环保运动的增加，天然纤维（NF）作为合成纤维的低成本替代品在工程应用中受到越来越多的关注，因为它们环保，重量轻，并且具有优异的机械强度。然而，来自植物和动物的nf增强聚合物复合材料（nfrpc）是亲水的，主要与疏水性热塑性塑料不相容，并且容易受潮损坏。为了应对这些挑战，人们对不同的优化策略进行了相当多的关注，以改善nfrpc的性能。本文综述了各种NFs（植物和动物）的特性，以及提高界面剪切强度和力学、断裂和吸水性能的优化策略。综述还涵盖了改善nfrpc的耐热性、阻燃性、温度和应变率依赖行为的优化策略。此外，本文还讨论了优化计算方法、现有文献的空白以及优化NFRPC开发的潜在未来方向。

期刊介绍： Sustainable Materials and Technologies (SM&T), an international, cross-disciplinary, fully open access journal published by Elsevier, focuses on original full-length research articles and reviews. It covers applied or fundamental science of nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development. SM&T gives special attention to contributions that bridge the knowledge gap between materials and system designs.
