Abstract

Biocomposites developed in the past few decades have gained utmost attention amidst researchers among which natural fiber particulate and wood particle reinforced plastic composites commit toward versatile applications. Natural fiber powder reinforced plastics in the current market are commonly developed with petroleum-based polymers that pose environmental hazards on disposal. In order to develop an alternative resource for these, many attempts have been made using various bioplastics as matrix materials with wood and plant particle form reinforcements. Polylactic acid with natural fiber reinforcement has majorly resulted in providing good mechanical performance among which particulate or powdered form processed to micro- and nano-sized reinforcements exhibits outstanding mechanical properties when compared to long and short fiber reinforcements. This review consolidates previous research profiles that have worked with polylactic acid reinforced with various wood flour and plant fiber particulate combinations to provide a database for researchers working in the similar frame.
