“…The rate of water absorption is greatly influenced by the materials density and void content. 39,40 The water absorption for the neat epoxy composite was the lowest water absorption percentage with the value of 0.12. This is because epoxy resin acts as water resistant matrix.…”

During the last few years, the hybrid composite materials are replacing the conventional composite materials because of their superior properties. In the present communication, unidirectional banana-jute hybrid fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were prepared by varying the fiber content from 0 to 40 wt% with different weight ratios. The physical and thermal properties of the hybrid composites were tested as per ASTM standards. The influence of fiber content on density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal stability, and water absorption of hybrid composites was investigated. A new micromechanical model for the transverse thermal conductivity of hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites is developed using the law of minimal thermal resistance and equal law of specific equivalent thermal conductivity. The results are validated with the results obtained by experimental, numerical simulation, and analytical methods existing in the literature. In numerical, steady state heat transfer simulations were performed to calculate thermal conductivity by using ANSYS software. It is encouraging to notice that the experimental and numerical results are in close approximation with the values predicted by the micromechanical model suggested in this work. It is found that the measured properties of the hybrid composites are suitable for building components and automobiles in order to decrease energy consumption.

“…Saw et al [19]study the effect of a chopped fibre mat of jute hybridized with bagasse in novolac composites in term of a different layering pattern on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. They conclude that jute-bagasse hybrid fibresreinforced epoxy novolac composites could find potential applications as high-performance engineering materials.…”
