Abstract
Polymer composites have been attracting the researchers’ attention in the last few years because they can produce a material with high mechanical performance and low weight. Natural reinforcements present advantages to the composites due to their eco-friendly behavior. This work aims to produce a literature review about the use of natural fibers and residues as reinforcement or filler for the development of polymer composites. This article was carried out through a systematic literature review in the main scientific databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct. The review showed the trend of an increasing number of published scientific papers referring to lignocellulosic residues in polymer composites. The results exhibited that most of the lignocellulosic residues used as reinforcement or filler were either fiber or particulate materials. This word also analyzed the most used polymeric matrices, plant-based fibers, manufacturing processes, and their main properties, through several tests review. This research helped to determine some fundamental parameters that should be used in the materials component’s selection, the composite fabrication and its analysis and characterization. These results should be used as a foundation for further experimental researches that will develop new composite materials manufactured with the addition of lignocellulosic residues.
