- Abstract
Concerns about renewable energy and the environment are driving the development of high-performance manufactured products made from natural resources around the world. Natural fiber composites play an essential role in the advancement of high-performance engineering materials due to their ease of use, recyclability, and environmental friendliness. The noxious plant Lantana camaraposes a serious threat to grazing cattle, biodiversity, land productivity, and, as a result, overall ecology. One of the potential strategies for limiting its invasion in agricultural and forest regions is by utilizing the L. camarastems as a source of lignocellulosic fiber in bio-composites. The main objective of this review article is to give a thorough overview of L. camarafibers and composites. Chemical modifications, manufacturing methods, the fabrication of the reinforced matrices, and also the mechanical, chemical, and morphological features of L. camarafiber-reinforced composites are reviewed comprehensively. Ultimately, this article identifies, examines, and fills gaps in past research and also offers useful information for future research in other streams that use L. camarafiber as reinforcement.
