Natural plant fibers (NPFs) have emerged as a sustainable alternative in the manufacture of composites due to their renewability and low environmental impact. This has led significant increase use natural fiber-reinforced polymers (NPFRPs) variety industries. The diversity NPF types brings wide range properties functionalities NPFRPs, which turn highlights urgent need improve fiber materials order enhance performance suitability. paper provides insight into processing mechanisms behind treatments, exploring how these treatments affect mechanical, thermal NPFRPs. It also offers critical assessment advantages disadvantages physical, chemical, biological nanotechnological treatments. findings our analysis provide basis for development future that aim material thereby increasing competitiveness with conventional synthetic polymers. Finally, novel thermoplastic resin composite system, Elium–NPFRP, is proposed embodies principles green development. system been designed objective capitalizing on benefits NPFs while simultaneously addressing challenges associated integration polymer matrices. Elium–NPFRP not only exemplifies potential science, but practical solution can be implemented diverse applications, spanning automotive components construction materials. reduce carbon footprints promote circular economy.
