Flammability Studies of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites fabricated by Additive Manufacturing Technology: A Review
Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) have garnered greater attention lately due to higher strength, good aspect ratio, easy availability, sustainable in nature, and excellent flame-retardant properties. Polymers decompose thermally when heated by creating smoke and volatiles. A polymer, naturally occurring biopolymer known as casein, forms char after burning. Under certain conditions, the phenomenon known as the “scaffolding effect” can give rise to the creation of a charred structure. This structure is formed when the fiber reinforcement of a composite material prevents the molten degradation products of the polymer from coming into direct contact with the heat source, potentially leading to an increase in the material’s thermal resistance. Additive manufacturing (AM) is one prominent process, which helps in fabricating any complex structure with ease. NFRPC composites exhibit multifaceted applicability across a range of fields, including construction, aerospace, automobile, and biomedicine. Nevertheless, it is crucial to consider the inadequate fire resistance of these materials, given their inextricable link to the preservation of human life and safety. Understanding the various flammability testing procedures for NFRPC has been a primary goal of this review paper. The article also focuses on various AM processes utilized for fabricating NFRPC.
