“…Our recent investigation enriches the expansive corpus of research on hybrid natural fiber composites by probing the mechanical properties, notably the tensile and flexural properties, of long flax fiber bundle (LFF)/short basalt fiber (BF)/polypropylene (PP)-rice husk powder (RHP) composites. When juxtaposed with extant literature on natural/natural, 38,43,44,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] and natural/glass fiber (GF) hybrid composites, 16,32,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80] as illustrated in Figure 7, the performance nuances of our materials become evident. Significantly, our optimized LFF2/30BF/ PP-6RHP composite showcases a mechanical behavior that mirrors esteemed natural fiber/GF hybrid composites.…”

While the potential of natural fiber (NF) composites for various engineering applications is well‐recognized, a deep understanding of the intricate interactions within these composites remains crucial. This study examines the microstructural characteristics of the polymer matrix and evaluates the impact of reinforcement size, with a particular focus on fire sensitivity. Hybrid‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were introduced using a unique tri‐hybrid system. This system combines long flax fibers (LFF) as primary reinforcement, with short basalt fibers (BF) and micro rice husk powder (RHP) as secondary reinforcements. These composites were fabricated using innovative extrusion, compression, and injection molding techniques. This novel fabrication method and strategic hybrid design bridged gaps in the composite structure, leading to significant enhancements in tensile and flexural strength. Improvements of 57.82%, 67.53%, and 60.02% over LFF/PP composites were observed, respectively. On the thermal front, the char residue surged by an impressive 497.51%. Flame properties, notably pHRR and THR, were reduced by 57.25% and 13.28%, respectively. These enhancements are attributed to the lignin in BF and the silica in RHP. The fire safety index further confirmed these improvements, with FGI and FPI increasing by 27.33% and 111.11%, respectively.

The automotive industry has benefited greatly from the advancements in fireproof, high-strength fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites during the last several decades. S-Glass/Phenolic hybrid composites made by hydraulic compression molding are the subject of this investigation into the effects of Melamine Polyphosphate (MPP) on their thermal and fire performance. In addition to studying the morphology of the samples, researchers analyzed the thermal and fire performances of hybrid laminates made with neat laminates and varying compositions of MPP (ranging from 3% to 15% by weight). Tests included UL 94, limiting oxygen index (LOI), and the impacts of accelerated heat ageing on the behavior of the hybrid specimens. The results demonstrated that specimens filled with higher MPP performed better in a fire compared to neat samples. According to the results in UL 94 horizontal burning test and vertical burning test, specimens filled with 12 and 15 wt. % MPP demonstrated a reduced flame spreading rate and fulfilled the V-0 criteria. Simultaneously, the energy absorption capacity of hybrid configurations is severely limited by heat ageing, due to its temperature and duration dependent. The research proved that the suggested S-Glass / Phenolic / Melamine Polyphosphate hybrid composites were suitable for creating environmentally friendly electric vehicle battery housings and fire-resistant automotive parts.

“…Natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) offer several advantages such as being biodegradable, lightweight, recyclable, and having a low production cost compared to conventional synthetic fiber‐based polymer composites. As a result, there has been a shift towards using plant‐based fibers like sisal, 1,2 jute, 3,4 banana, 1,5 hemp, 6 kenaf, 7 flax, 8 bamboo, 9,10 coir, 11 and others to replace synthetic fibers in composite materials. NFRPCs possess desirable characteristics that have enabled them to be utilized in various industries such as aeronautics, sports, construction, automobiles, and so forth 12,13 .…”

Natural fiber‐reinforced composites are gaining significant popularity for their biodegradability and eco‐friendliness. Fiber modifications and hybridization have been used to address issues like hydrophilicity and fiber inhomogeneity. However, efficient manufacturing is still a challenge for natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites. The present study explores the potential of microwave processing of hybrid laminates composed of sisal and jute fibers. The laminates, consisting of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) as matrix and sisal and jute as reinforcement materials were subjected to microwave processing at specific power, time, frequency, and loads. Four types of laminates with different stacking sequences: sisal‐sisal‐sisal (SSS), sisal‐jute‐sisal (SJS), jute‐sisal‐jute (JSJ), and jute‐jute‐jute (JJJ) were developed. The developed composites showed ~3% void content, with the SJS and JSJ composite having the least and highest void content, respectively. The SJS composite showed the highest tensile and flexural strength of 15.27 and 20.40 MPa, respectively, out of all the configurations and an improvement of 42% and 85% over pure LLDPE. Hybrid composites having high‐strength fibers in the skin layer exhibited superior mechanical properties. Microscopic examination of the fractured specimens revealed that fiber pull‐out and fiber breakage were the primary failure mechanisms of failure. Lateral failure due to delamination between matrix and fiber was predominant with grip and gauge regions as frequent failure points. The incorporation of sisal and jute fiber reinforcement into the polymers doesn't change the thermal stability of the fabricated composites significantly. The above results show that microwave‐assisted processing is a promising method for producing natural fiber‐reinforced hybrid polymer composites.Highlights Development of hybrid laminates using microwave energy at 2.45 GHz. The mechanism of microwave‐based processing of polymer composites has been discussed. Effect of layering sequence on mechanical and thermal properties of the developed composite. Assessment of tensile strength with morphology, flexural strength and thermo‐gravimetric analysis.
