“…A similar work [37] was reported on the mechanical properties of hybrid glass fibre-sisal-/jute-reinforced epoxy composites. In this work, mechanical properties such as tensile strength and flexural strength of the hybrid composites were evaluated.…”

“…The addition of glass fibre decreased the water uptake of the hybrid composite, which ultimately resulted in good mechanical properties. Further, another work [37] showed that the incorporation of natural fibres such as jute and sisal with glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) could also improve the properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. Improving the mechanical properties of jute fibre composites by chemical treatments is somewhat successful, although some undesirable problems are associated with this method.…”

Abstract Extensive efforts have been made in the last decade for the development of natural fibre composites. This development paved the way for engineers and researchers to come up with natural fibre composites (NFCs) that exhibit better mechanical properties. The present review is based on the mechanical properties of jute, abaca, coconut, kenaf, sisal, and bamboo fibre-reinforced composites. Before selecting any NFC for a particular application, it becomes necessary to understand its compatibility for the same, which can be decided by knowing its mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. This review paper emphasises on the factors influencing the mechanical properties of NFCs like the type of matrix and fibre, interfacial adhesion, and compatibility between matrix and fibre. Efforts are also made to unveil the research gaps from the past literatures, as a result of which it is inferred that there is very limited work published in the field of vibration incorporating potential fillers such as red mud and fly ash with NFCs.

“…Banana and glass hybrid fiber with varying fiber length and fiber content were tested [19]. Efforts have been made by many authors to evaluate the mechanical properties of Palmyra/glass fiber hybrid composites [20], banana empty fruit bunch fibre reinforced polyester composites [21], sisal-jute-glass fiber reinforced polyester composites [22], glass fiber-sisal/jute reinforced epoxy composites [23], jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites [24] Palmyra Palm Leaf Stalk Fiber/jute fiber reinforced hybrid polyester composites [25]. The analysis of tensile, flexural, and impact properties [26] of these composites revealed that composites with good strength could be successfully developed using banana fiber as the reinforcing agent.…”

aIn the low cost application of vacuum casting in rapid prototyping, a mould cavity with high modulus is necessary for producing plastics parts in small quantity. In this work, a silicone matrix was reinforced with natural fibers to improve the modulus of composites to mould and to reduce the cost of silicone materials. Sisal fiber with different compositions was reinforced with silicone in a compression moulding process. Mechanical properties were studied. An increase in tensile strength, tear strength, and better hardness was observed in sisal fiber composites . The silane-treated fiber improved the adhesion between fiber and matrix and enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. The swelling method was adopted to determine the crosslinking density of composites through the Flory-Rehner equation. The flexibility of silicone composites decreased for higher fiber loading and there was an increase in cross-linking of the fiber network to improve modulus of the composites. A morphological study was conducted using X-ray tomography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to predict the defects, orientation, debonding, fractography, and interfacial adhesion of fiber/matrix composites.
