Abstract

The development of eco-friendly products to protect the environment has become a topical subject in the research and industrial communities. This is a result of strict environmental regulations necessitating the development of novel strategies to reduce our reliance on petroleum-based products, which exert a negative effect on our ecosystem. Bast-fibre-based hybrids have been extensively studied for various applications due to their eco-friendliness and cost effectiveness. There is a very limited number of review articles covering the properties and preparation of bast-fibre-based hybrid composites. This review is designed to provide an overview of the preparation and application of bast-fibre-based hybrid composites. It covers the thermal properties, mechanical properties, moisture absorption and flame-retardant properties of bast hybrid composites. This review not only summarises recent advances on the use and preparation of bast hybrid composites, it also presents a future outlook.
