Abstract
The popularity of jute-based bio and hybrid composites is mainly due to an increase in environmental concerns and pollution. Jute fibers have low cost, high abundance, and reasonable mechanical properties. Research in all-natural fibers and composites have increased exponentially due to the environment concerns of the hazards of synthetic fibers-based composites. Jute based bio and hybrid composites have been extensively used in number of applications. Hybrid jute-based composites have enhanced mechanical and physical properties, reasonably better than jute fiber composites. A detailed analysis of jute-based bio and hybrid composites was carried out in this review. The primary aim of this review paper is to provide a critical analysis and to discuss all recent developments in jute-based composites. The content covers different aspects of jute-based composites, including their mechanical and physical properties, structure, morphology, chemical composition, fiber modification techniques, surface treatments, jute based hybrid composites, limitations, and applications. Jute-based composites are currently being used in a vast number of applications such as in textiles, construction, cosmetics, medical, packaging, automobile, and furniture industries.
Highlights
We are surrounded by environmental pollution, which has become a major threat to all living creatures
Jute-based composites have attracted the attention of many researchers, together with research and development funds, due to their better physical and mechanical properties among all natural fibers
It is concluded that the matter of discontinuing and discouraging the manufacturing of synthetic composites is of absolute importance for protecting the environment from their hazards
Summary
We are surrounded by environmental pollution, which has become a major threat to all living creatures. Leading nations are trying to minimize pollution by taking radical steps to replace pollution-causing materials with renewable ones. Researchers have made it possible to replace conventional synthetic materials with natural bio-based alternatives. Many resources have been spent on developing synthetic composites, which have performed well in different applications. With ever-increasing environmental concerns and threats, much focus has been diverted to the development of bio- and hybrid composites. Bio-composites are being developed to meet the performance of synthetic composites. These bio-composites are biodegradable and various natural fibers have been used for their fabrication, aiming at making them eco-friendly in nature and with minimum carbon emissions. Even hybrid composites have become popular due to superior mechanical and physical properties compared to pure bio-composites
