The investigation explores mechanical, thermal and thermomechanical behavior of hybrid composites post-recycling, and subsequent, 5 wt.% additional reinforcement to the recyclate of sisal (SSL) fiber fly ash (FA)/polypropylene (PP) hybrid composite. Impact of recycling and 5 wt.% of SSL fiber reinforcement of the recyclate on mechanical properties of hybrid composites made of 15-30 wt.% SSL and 5-15 wt.% FA were investigated. Noticeably, after recycling, a minimal loss of 2.39% only in tensile and 2.20% in flexural strength were recorded for the hybrid composites fabricated with 15 wt.% each of FA and SSL. The highest loss in tensile (10.32%) and flexural (4.22%) strength were reported for only 30 wt.% SSL fiber reinforced PP indicating that hybridization with FA has a benign effect on reducing property degradation. These lost properties were regained by reinforcing recycled composites with 5 wt.% of SSL fiber. Mechanical studies showed that the composite with 30 wt.% SSL fibers recycled and reinforced with additional 5 wt.% fibers showed a substantial improvement of ~10% and ~4% in the tensile and flexural strength while keeping the impact strength stable. FE-SEM images confirmed a reduction (~67%) in aspect ratio of the SSL fiber due to reprocessing. DMA demonstrated a decrease of ~11% in storage modulus of the composites after first recycling. TGA confirmed an insignificant change in the degradation temperature of the recycled and re-reinforced recycled composites versus fresh composites. The study paves the way for potential future recycling applications of waste natural fiber reinforced PP.

“…Similarly, Salman [174] concluded that fibre layer configurations and fibre content influenced all dynamic mechanical properties of jute/carbon hybrid composites. However, Margabandu and Subramaniam [175] reported a significant effect of stacking sequence on flexural behavior with little influence on the impact strength of jute/carbon hybrid composites. A similar effect of stacking sequence on the mechanical behavior of jute/banana/carbon has been reported in literature.…”

The global drive towards a circular economy that emphasizes sustainability in production processes has increased the use of agro-based raw materials like natural fibres in applications that have long been dependent on inorganic raw materials. Natural fibres provide an eco-friendly, more sustainable, and low cost alternative to synthetic fibres that have been used for a long time in the development of composite materials. However, natural fibres are associated with high water absorption capacity due to their hydrophilic nature leading to poor compatibility with hydrophobic polymeric matrices, thus lower mechanical properties for various applications. Hybridization of natural fibres with synthetic fibres enhances the mechanical performance of natural fibres for structural and nonstructural applications such as automobile, aerospace, marine, sporting, and defense. There have been increased research interests towards natural/synthetic fibre hybrid composites in the past two decades (2001–2021) to overcome the identified limitations of natural fibres. Therefore, understanding the parameters affecting the properties and potential of using natural and synthetic fibre reinforcements to develop hybrid composites is of great interest. The review showed that using appropriate fibre orientation, fibre weight fraction and stacking sequence yields good mechanical, physical, and thermal properties that are competitive with what only synthetic fibre reinforced composites can achieve. In addition, these properties can be improved through pretreatment of natural fibres using different chemicals. This paper provides in review form the parameters affecting the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of natural/synthetic fibre hybrid reinforced polymer composites from the year 2001 to 2021.

“…[32,55] It well known that the debonding between the matrix-fiber surface, fiber pullout, fiber fracture, matrix fissures, and fractures are the primary causes of poor strength. [56][57][58][59] This might explain why the tensile strength of CHF/SBA composites decreases as the CHF concentration increases.…”

Researchers are continuously working to improve the mechanical characteristics of polymer composites by various approaches such as fiber treatment, filler addition, and others. In this study, mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics of composites produced from corn husk waste fibers treated with pumice powder were examined. Corn husk (CHF) and pumice powder (SBA) were mixed in polyester matrix at varied volume fractions of 5: 30, 10:25, 15:20, 20:15, 25:10, and 30:5. The results demonstrate that infusing SBA into the CHF composite enhanced the interfacial adhesion between the CHF and the polyester matrix. As a result, the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the SBA/CHF composites were significantly improved. The composite with 5:30 volume fraction (JPA) exhibited the highest values of tensile strength (18.61 MPa), tensile modulus (3.23 GPa), flexural strength (36.12 MPa), and flexural modulus (3.39 GPa) among all the composites and the polymer matrix which was attributed to the strong SBA/CHF interface bonds in the composites. While the lowest values recorded for the composite specimens were due to a large number of CHF pullouts. Similarly, JPA composites outperformed the other composites in terms of thermal stability. The morphological study indicated that CHF pullout increased with an increased quantity of CHF and dropped as the amount of SBA increased and was distributed equally in the composite. According to the findings, the CHF/SBA composites had better mechanical characteristics than the fiber-glass composites.
