Abstract

In the past few decades, natural fibres have shown remarkable achievements in the field of reinforced polymer composites because of environmental issues and petroleum crises. Biodegradable fibres (bast, animals hair, stalk, seed etc.) has been used by researchers because of its low cost, low density, abundant in nature, high stiffness etc. over other man-made fibers. The majority of plant fibers which are being considered as reinforcement materials for polymer composites are bast fibers (the outer cell layers of various plants) such as hemp, jute, kenaf, grewia optiva etc. Among these fibers Grewia optiva is recently explored fiber and is presently being assessed as reinforcement in polymeric composites. In this paper, we have discussed and reviewed the extraction process of Grewia optiva fibers and various surface treatments such as graft copolymerization, mercerization, Benzoylation and silane methods for enhancement of the surface adhesion properties of Grewia optiva fibres with their matrice and the effects of these surface treatments on mechanical properties of such fabricated composites.
