Biodegradable foam packaging was chosen as an alternative food packaging material due to non-toxic and produced from renewable sources. Researchers has turned to incorporate natural fibre to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer composite foam. In this study, the objective is to identify the studies which investigated on the tensile properties of natural fiber incorporated polymer composite foam and analyzed the effect of natural fibre content and size on tensile properties. Further correlation between the natural fibre content and size on tensile properties of composite polymer foam was conducted. The studies on the natural fibre incorporated polymer composite was identify via PRISMA method. The effect of natural fibre content and natural fibre size on tensile properties of polymer composite foam were analyzed in terms of qualitative analysis via systematic review. This study employs systematic review method on the existing literature. This study has utilized supplementary databases such as SAGE Journals, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Emerald Insight, ERIC ProQuest, SpringerLink and IEEE Xplore to cater all the possible relevant literature for a comprehensive review. The systematic review method comprised of the steps that explain on the review process in the sequence of the (identification, screening, eligibility), data analysis and data abstraction. From the article used in this systematic review, most of the result shown the increased tensile properties on natural fibre reinforced polymer composite foams. The study by Texteira et al. (2014) shows that the softwood fibre with 33% of PLA loading has the highest elongation at break, and highest natural fibre size (2470 µm). While the study by Long et al. (2019) has the highest tensile strength with 30% of ABF fibre content. The composition of 20 wt% BF with 80 wt% PLA composites were concluded to have the optimum tensile properties


The point of research is improvement of biocomposite materials dependent on biopolymers and characteristic filaments has been made through creation of Natural fiber powdered material (Abaca, Mudar and Hemp strengthened polymer composite material by utilizing bio epoxy tar. The present work centers around the forecast of push power and torque of the normal fiber fortified polymer composite materials and the qualities, contrasted and the Artificial Neural Network.


Abstract: In today's world, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC) are becoming increasingly popular because to their eco-friendliness, lightweight superiority in life cycles, biodegradability, low cost and good mechanical quality. In a number of engineering applications NFRPCs are widely used and research in that field is progressing quickly. Due to natural fibres, researchers face various challenges during NFPRC construction and deployment (NFs). Among the challenges are fibre quality, thermal stability, water absorption and incompatibility with polymer matrices. Steel strengthening is continuously required to fulfil the tensile strength and ductility requirements of concrete buildings, because the most often used building medium on the globe is concrete. Furthermore, corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the most severe issues facing civil engineers today; hence promoting sustainable concrete as well as structures to reduce their negative influence on the environment is vital. The development of new environmental materials to replace the bars of steel as a reinforcement of the concrete structure is a key step towards assuring the long-term durability of the cement and construction. According to this evaluation document, strengthened concrete constructions create a wide range of environmental concerns including significant CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions.
