Abstract

In many industrial applications, the thermal performance of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites attracts much technical and scientific attention. Compared to produced natural fiber polymer composites (NFPCs), the thermal behavior of natural fiber composites is often the most researched subject. Thermal properties may be important in instances involving temperatures exceeding the thermal conductivity, thermal stability, curing, and processes used in heating procedures. Several studies have determined their unique thermal properties, notably thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. This review examines the effect of temperature on mass loss in natural leaf fibers collected from a variety of plants. Furthermore, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are used in a wide range of technological applications, but their diversity is limited due to temperature changes during cooling or heating, necessitating a thermogravimetric analysis before usage in a specific application. TGA was a fundamental thermal analytical approach that was easy, ideal, stable, sensitive, and superb. The thermal analysis also provides important information on glass transition temperatures, thermal expansion, softening points, composition changes, and phase shifts on materials of varied shapes when exposed to a constant load as a function of temperature. This focuses on the fundamentals and experimental thermal analysis of natural leaf fiber–reinforced thermoset polymer composites with or without chemical treatment of fiber for both research and technical applications and their use in various engineering fields, from vehicle manufacturing to civil construction.
