Different stages of thermal degradation of natural fibres.

First Stage	Second Stage	Third Stage	References
50–100 °C	200–300 °C	330–500 °C
Moisture evaporation and fibre degradation happens due to the release of water absorbed by the fibres	Thermal decomposition happens for hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and glycosidic linkages	Weight loss happens due to lignin and cellulose	[7,165,166]
