Abstract

Bibliometric research is statistical analysis of publications to identify the most influencing sources of research pertaining to a specific area of research. This paper presents an overview research on rice straw/husk (RS/RH) reinforced polymer composites by using the bibliometric indicators to establish the research framework and to identify the essential research. The relevant journals, authors, institutions and countries which have significantly contributed to research on RS/RH based composite is focused. The bibliometric data is generated through Scopus database. It is observed that the number of publications on characterization of RS/RH based composites are consistently increasing over the last few years along with their citations. The major focus of the researchers is to determine the mechanical (tensile and flextural) and thermal properties of these composites. The countries which are supporting the research of this nature through funding are Malaysia, Europe and USA. The number of publications on material characterization of RS/RH composites has increased almost linearly in the recent years. About 88.90% of the articles which are published in the journals are related to engineering, material science and agricultural domain.
