“…A combination of several types of natural fibers in different forms (e.g., woven, non-woven, long fiber, short fiber, and powder) in a polymer matrix is possible for the development of hybrid composites for a variety of applications such as automotive, aerospace, furniture, etc. [ 133 , 137 , 138 , 139 ]. Asim et al [ 140 ] studied the influence of hybridization of PALF and kenaf fiber at different fiber loading on the mechanical properties of phenol formaldehyde composites.…”

“…Several researchers have determined the mechanical properties of hybrid natural fiber/natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites in woven form. Khan et al [ 138 ] studied the influence of a woven kenaf (K) and woven jute (J) fiber stacking sequence on the mechanical properties of epoxy composites. Two types of three-layer hybrid composites were produced: J/K/J (woven kenaf at the middle part), and K/J/K (woven jute at the middle part).…”

A Review on Mechanical Performance of Hybrid Natural Fiber Polymer Composites for Structural Applications

In the field of hybrid natural fiber polymer composites, there has been a recent surge in research and innovation for structural applications. To expand the strengths and applications of this category of materials, significant effort was put into improving their mechanical properties. Hybridization is a designed technique for fiber-reinforced composite materials that involves combining two or more fibers of different groups within a single matrix to manipulate the desired properties. They may be made from a mix of natural and synthetic fibers, synthetic and synthetic fibers, or natural fiber and carbonaceous materials. Owing to their diverse properties, hybrid natural fiber composite materials are manufactured from a variety of materials, including rubber, elastomer, metal, ceramics, glasses, and plants, which come in composite, sandwich laminate, lattice, and segmented shapes. Hybrid composites have a wide range of uses, including in aerospace interiors, naval, civil building, industrial, and sporting goods. This study intends to provide a summary of the factors that contribute to natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites’ mechanical and structural failure as well as overview the details and developments that have been achieved with the composites.

“…The core layer then results in better flexural properties than when the jute fibre is placed at the outer and core layers. Several studies found that this mechanism also affects hybrid natural fibre composites [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Moreover, applying the proper hybrid jute–ramie stacking sequence affects the composites’ properties, as mentioned in the previous studies [ 49 , 50 ].…”

The Effect of Hybridisation on Mechanical Properties and Water Absorption Behaviour of Woven Jute/Ramie Reinforced Epoxy Composites

et al. 2021

Recently, the most critical issue related to the use of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC) is the degradation properties of composites exposed to the environment. NFRPC’s moisture absorption behaviour has adverse effects on the composite’s mechanical properties and dimensional stability. The purpose of this study is to analyse the mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced by jute–ramie hybridisation. This study also analysed the effect of stacking sequence hybridisation of the jute–ramie composite on water absorption behaviour. A five-layer different type of stacking sequence of single and hybrid jute–ramie is produced with the hand lay-up method. The results obtained from this study found that the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviour of a single jute fibre are lower compared to a single ramie fibre. The hybrid of jute–ramie has been able to increase the performance of composite compared to pure jute composites. The mechanical properties of the hybrid jute–ramie composite show a reduction effect after exposure to an aqueous environment due to the breakdown of fibre matrix interfacial bonding. However, after 28 days of immersion, all types of the stacking sequence’s mechanical properties are still higher than that of pure epoxy resin. In conclusion, the appropriate sequence of stacking and selecting the material used are two factors that predominantly affect the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviour. The hybrid composites with the desired and preferable properties can be manufactured using a hand-lay-up technique and used in the various industrial applications.

“…This results in poor compatibility among the constituents andhence decreases the properties of the composites. [3] However, many physical and chemical treatments are adopted to overcome these limitations and make natural fibers more suitable for composite manufacturing [4].Natural fibers with high crystalline cellulose possess high strength and stability and those with high lignin content exhibit high rigidity [5]. Natural fibers can be obtained from various parts of the plant such as stem, leaf, fruits, petioles, roots, and seeds [6].Recently, many novel plant fibers possessing the desirable characteristics required for reinforcing the polymer matrices have been identified and reported [1].…”

The research article focused on the effect of corn shell reinforced with epoxy composites. The randomly oriented corn shell reinforced/epoxy composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% pomice powder weight. Tensile, flexural, and water absorption tests were used to determine the composite's mechanical properties, The obtained results revealed that 20 wt% and 15 wt% pumice powdercould produce corn shell -reinforced composite with the highest tensile strength, flexural strength, and interfacial adhesion among all the prepared composites. The added of the pumice powder into the corn shell /epoxy composites enhanced their mechanical, and water absorption. The tensile and flexural strengths of the corn shell/pumice powde -epoxy composites (20wt% and 15wt%) were 11.745 and 11.250 MPa, respectively. In additon, The 25 wt.%, composite also displayed less water absorption behavior compared to the other composite.
