Effect of acrylation treatment on various biofibers.

S. no.	Fibers used	Type of chemical treatment	Effects	Ref.
1	Bagasse	Acrylation treatment	Acrylation treatment offers superior tensile and flexural strength compared to alkali treatment.	[152]
2	Oil palm	Acrylation treatment	The treatment yielded higher extension and impact resistance. At 40% of fiber with 50°C exhibited moderate level of moisture absorption compared to other treatments.	[102, 155]
3	Flax	Acrylation treatment	The treated fiber exhibited higher tensile strength and moisture resistance than those treated with silane, permanganate, and sodium chloride treatment. Higher smooth fiber surface was observed.	[131]
4	Flax	Acrylation treatment	At higher concentration, grafting was increased due to higher availability of monomer molecules in cellulose radicals as well as polymerization medium.	[154]
5	Jute	Acrylation treatment	An increase in tensile strength and flexural strength by 42.2% and 13.9%, respectively.	[155]
