Review on the impact behavior of natural fiber epoxy based composites.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly materials has spurred interest in natural fiber epoxy composites as a viable substitute for synthetic-based composites. Impact strength is a crucial mechanical property for structural applications and plays a key role in successfully utilizing natural fiber epoxy composites. This comprehensive review explores the impact strength characteristics of different natural fiber epoxy composites by examining the latest research and advancements in the field. The effect of fiber content, fiber length, stacking sequence, and fiber treatment techniques, such as chemical treatments and coupling agents, on epoxy-based composites' impact strength was discussed. Additionally, the effect of fiber hybridization and formulation in determining impact strength is explored, including the curing agents, manufacturing techniques and fillers. The challenges and limitations associated with the impact strength of natural fiber epoxy composites are addressed, along with strategies to overcome them. The review concludes with a summary of the approaches to improve impact strength, including fiber selection, fiber treatment, hybridization, matrix modification, fiber orientation, curing parameters, fiber content, and fiber length. The conclusions of this review provide valuable insights into enhancing the impact strength of natural fiber epoxy composites, paving the way for their wider adoption in various industries and promoting sustainable material alternatives.
