Plant Fibers as Composite Reinforcements for Biomedical Applications

Plant fibers possess high strength, fracture toughness and elasticity, have proven useful because of their diversity, versatility, renewability, sustainability. For biomedical applications, these natural been used as reinforcement for biocomposites to infer hybrid biomaterials mechanical characteristics, such stiffness, durability. The reinforced composites tested in structural semi-structural biodevices potential applications orthopedics, prosthesis, tissue engineering, wound dressings. This review introduces plant fibers, properties factors impacting them, addition applications. Then, it discusses different methodologies prepare based on widespread, renewable the unique that obtained possess. It also examines several examples Finally, findings are summed up some thoughts future developments provided. Overall, focus present lies analyzing design, requirements, performance, fibers.
