“…The tests proved that the hybridization process made it possible to reduce the usage of synthetic fiber. [289] Almeida et al evaluated the mechanical properties of hybrid composites made from glass and curaua fibers. From the study, it was observed that the properties were improved with glass fiber incorporation and for a higher overall fiber volume fraction.…”

Environmental awareness across the world has motivated researchers to focus their attention on the use of cellulosic fiber as reinforcement in polymer matrices.Lignocellulosic fibers are an abundantly available resource in all countries, which is cheap and easily renewable. Also, due to their properties, cellulosic plant fibers exhibit a great potential for use in polymer reinforcement. As a result, considerable research and development efforts have been directed towards the use of cellulosic fibers as a reinforcing material in composites. The use of cellulosic fiber reinforced composites has continuously increased during recent years, which benefits the cultivation of fiber plants and the economy of the country. This research area continues to be of interest to both industry and academia, the use of cellulosic fibers in composite applications being investigated throughout the world. Cellulosic fiber reinforced composites are reasonably strong, lightweight, harmless to human health and the environment, and biodegradable, hence they have the potential to be used in various applications. Recent progress in cellulosic fiber composites research has illustrated their great potential as structural components in automobiles, aerospace structures, construction, and building, and so forth. This study is an effort to create awareness about the research works that have been published in the field of natural fiber composites. This review briefly illustrates the main paths and results of major research published in the field of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. The topics covered include the aspects of fiber treatment to improve the mechanical properties of the composites, manufacturing methods, performance of hybrid composites, effect of laminate configuration, and many different applications of natural fiber composites.By presenting a systematic view of the work performed in this area so far, this review will hopefully serve as a starting point for the development of new ideas in the research on natural fiber polymer composites.

“…This confirms the role played by the manufacturing process which determines the fibre volume fraction and the orientation of the fibres. In this regard, the substantial non-uniformity in the distribution of reinforcement across the composites led to a pronounced influence of fibre architecture on kenaf/glass fibre hybrid composite [28], where a new design with kenaf fibres in the centre of the cross section encircled by an outer layer of glass fibres proved to be effective in reducing the water absorption at 65 °C up to 1000 h. The effect of different geometry (plate-like) and fibre arrangement on mechanical properties of pultruded composites was first investigated in [23], where quasi-static and cyclic flexural tests along with indentation tests were performed on jute/ glass and kenaf/glass composites. In the present study, experimentation concentrated on natural ageing, carrying out tests up to water saturation, therefore for a much longer period than in any other study before (4076 h) and with a closer look also at the kinetics of water absorption and damage development through acoustic emission analysis.…”

Natural fibers based composites having good mechanical properties have attracted tribologists to explore their application range from friction materials to friction modifiers. Hybridization of the fiber reinforced polymer composite is necessary to ensure combined mechanical strength and tribological properties. Hence, this review discusses “hybrid natural fiber composites” in detail. Earlier, reports listed the tribological failure in polymer composites from the view point of mechanical failures such as fiber/matrix interfacial debonding, matrix crack, fiber fragments, and debris generation. The present review focuses on the transfer layer formation, influence of contact temperature, and degradation of self-lubricating polymer behavior of natural fiber based hybrid composites. The authors assume that present review article on the tribological properties of hybrid composites can guide the research community towards innovative material design for tribological applications by the hybridization of natural fiber composites.
