Areca Fiber Reinforced Bio-Materials: A Review on Processing, Properties and Advanced Optimization Technique

Abstract

In this millennium, non-wood plants have emerged as a substitute for fibrous substantial attributing to growth in population, industrialization and education. Natural fiber composites are crucial for creating high-performance engineering resources because of their easy accessibility, capacity to be recycled and environmental friendliness. Products from the palm are important and cost-effective for both civic and pastoral locations. The palm fruit cluster, leaf trunks and leaves are utilized domestically and parts are thrown away as waste. This palm waste product is used as a raw substantial for reinforcement in polymer composites as well as a possible source for natural fibers. An overview of the advancements made in the field of Arecaceae (palm) family-based fiber-reinforced composites is presented including information on their current market, matrix combinations, physical qualities, environmental implications, manufacturing methods, chemical processing and acoustic features. In order to optimize the utilization of this bio-based substance and ensure its bright future, a number of important challenges are explored along with ideas for further investigation. The discussion of the impact of palm fibers on final products and the literature analysis highlight additive manufacturing and machine learning-based optimization methods for natural fiber composites (NFC).
