“…Research using a combination of banana fiber and carbon fiber was conducted by Oyewo et al [ 100 ] The composite was made using the hand lay-up method with three variations arrangement of laminae (C/C/B, C/C/B/B and C/C/B/B/B). This studied aims to determine the level of water absorption in hybrid composites.…”

Research on natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composite is continuously developing. Natural fibers from flora have received considerable attention from researchers because their use in biobased composites is safe and sustainable for the environment. Natural fibers that mixed with Carbon Fiber and or Glass Fiber are low-cost, lightweight, and biodegradable and have lower environmental influences than metal-based materials. This study highlights and comprehensively reviews the natural fibers utilized as reinforcements in polyester composites, including jute, bamboo, sisal, kenaf, flax, and banana. The properties of composite materials consisting of natural and synthetic fibers, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, fatigue, and hardness, are investigated in this study. This paper aims to summarize, classify, and collect studies related to the latest composite hybrid science consisting of natural and synthetic fibers and their applications. Furthermore, this paper includes but is not limited to preparation, mechanism, characterization, and evaluation of hybrid composite laminates in different methods and modes. In general, natural fiber composites produce a larger volume of composite, but their strength is weaker than GFRP/CFRP even with the same number of layers. The use of synthetic fibers combined with natural fibers can provide better strength of hybrid composite.

“…Additionally, factors like defects, type and quantity of reinforcement, and the processing method contribute to the overall increase in tensile strength. In a study by Oyewo et al [20], it was found that the incorporation of synthetic reinforcements in natural fibre composites led to 40% increase in tensile strength. Similarly, Gupta et al [21] reported a 33% increase in the kenaf/carbon fibre composite compared to non-hybridised samples.…”

The use of Synthetic Fibres (SF) as reinforcement for development of Epoxy-based Composites (EC) is well reported. Aside the fact that SF reinforced EC suffer failure under low stress, SF are harmful and sparse, thus limiting local synthesis of the composite for fabrication of structural components. The foregoing necessitates the search for sustainable agro-based alternatives such as Banana Pseudo Stem Fibre (BPSF). Therefore, attempt was made to study the use of BPSF as partial or wholly alternative to SF in EC. The synergistic influence of BPSF and SF on mechanical, thermal stability and tribological characteristics of EC was examined. The SF used in this study were Kevlar (KK), glass (GG) and carbon (CC). Hand lay-up lamination method was used to develop unhybridised and hybridised epoxy composites. The unhybridised epoxy composite reinforced with BPSF was denoted as BBBB (control). The hybrid of BPSF with KK, GG and CC were designated as BBKK, BBGG, and BBCC, respectively. Mechanical, thermal stability and wear tests were carried out according to ASTM standards. Microstructure evolution was examined with SEM NIXRN (Model 541). The BBCC exhibited higher tensile strength and compressive strength (159.11, 65.21 MPa) when compared to BBGG (141.11, 58.21 MPa), BBKK (144.27, 55.51 MPa), and BBBB (109.38, 52.77 MPa), respectively. The improved hardness in the hybridised samples, BBCC (109.25 BHN), BBKK (89.77 BHN), and BBGG (82.23 BHN), were attributed to the filling of BPSF pores with synthetic reinforcements, when compared to the unhybridised BBBB (78.12 BHN). The BBCC demonstrated highest thermal stability, with a mass residue of 18.00 %. The sample also demonstrated the lowest wear under the tested loads. The microstructures revealed a finely dispersed fibres and better adherence in the matrix as compared to others. The hybridised samples demonstrated better properties compared to the unhybridised. The BBCC, a combination of 2-layer configuration of BPSF and CC exhibited the best mechanical, thermal stability and tribological characteristics. In future research endeavours, an investigation on the synergistic impact of other agro-based natural fibres and synthetic fibres at different configuration of layers on the properties of epoxy-based composites is proposed.

“…To improve the biodegradability and production friendliness of composites, natural fibers, such as jute, flax, banana fiber were introduced into fiber-reinforced composites. [21][22][23][24][25][26] The mechanical properties of the composites mainly depended on the stacking position of fibers.…”

The impact property and residual flexural property of three-dimensional (3D) five-directional braided carbon/glass hybrid epoxy composites were studied. Four kinds of arrangement for carbon fiber and glass fiber in the axial yarn were designed. Taking pure carbon fiber composites (C/Ca) as the control, the rest of arrangements were that glass fiber and carbon fiber alternately arranged at the width direction (C/G1), glass fiber and carbon fiber alternately arranged at the thickness direction (C/G2), and only glass fiber appeared at the axial yarn (C/G3). Results showed that the C/G2 composite has higher impact energy absorption capacity, and the C/G1 composite has higher impact stress. The flexural properties of C/Ca composite are the best and that of C/G3 composite are the worst before impacting. This study is helpful for the structural design of composites in specific occasions.
