| Summary: | Bio-composite materials, which are formed of natural fibers and a polymer matrix, represent an engineering composite product that can be beneficial for a diverse range of uses. These materials are being used in an ever-expanding variety of applications because of the extraordinary qualities they possess, the varied designs they come in, and the appealing ways they may be put to use. Nevertheless, the application of these bio-composites is reliant on the interface bonding between fiber and matrix internal bonding in order to achieve the desired level of performance. The interfacial connection that exists between the fiber and the matrix has a considerable impact on the physicomechanical characteristics of the bio-composites. Numerous researchers have been motivated to investigate natural fibers’ potential applications in a broad selection of industrial sectors as a consequence of the fact that natural fibers are readily accessible, inexpensive, and biodegradable. There are several drawbacks associated with these fibers, including the fact that they have an extreme moisture absorption degree, which causes to an increase in the thickness swelling, they are simple to degrade, they have a low resistance to fire, they have heterogeneity in their mechanical characteristics and that they have poor interface bonding with the polymer matrix. With the intention of enhance the bonding among fiber-matrix adhesion and, by extension the physicomechanical properties of the composites, a number of chemical modifications are implemented. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of the chemical treatments and uses for a broad range of natural fiber-reinforced composites that are currently available. |
