“…As detailed in the recent review papers by Jawaid and Khalil [69] and Nunna et al [147], natural fibre hybrid composites are often a combination of a natural fibre with another natural fibre [95,96,[148][149][150] or with glass fibre [107,142,148,[151][152][153][154][155][156][157]. The latter is more common, as it allows larger improvements in mechanical properties.…”

Fibre-reinforced composites are rapidly gaining market share in structural applications, but further growth is limited by their lack of toughness. Fibre hybridisation is a promising strategy to toughen composite materials. By combining two or more fibre types, these hybrid composites offer a better balance in mechanical properties than non-hybrid composites. Predicting their mechanical properties is challenging due to the synergistic effects between both fibres. This review aims to explain basic mechanisms of these hybrid effects and describes the state-of-the-art models to predict them. An overview of the tensile, flexural, impact and fatigue properties of hybrid composites is presented to aid in optimal design of hybrid composites. Finally, some current trends in fibre hybridisation, such as pseudoductility, are described.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] A multitude of fiber types from different plant species and different positions in plant bodies (such as leaf, stem, and seed) can be technically utilized in natural fiber-based composites. The most common natural fibers are as follows: jute (Corchorus capsulari), curauá (Ananas erectifolius), sisal (Agave sisalana), and coconut (Cocos nucifera).…”

The main objective of this work is to study the effect of chemical treatment on the thermal properties of hybrid natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs). Different chemical treatments [i.e., alkalized and mixed (alkalized+ silanized)] were used to improve the adhesion between the natural fibers (jute, ramie, sisal, and curauá) and the polymer matrix. A differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, and a dynamic mechanical analysis were performed to study the thermal properties of hybrid NFRC. It was found that the chemical treatments increased the thermal stability of the composites. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the chemical treatments altered the morphology of the natural fibers. A rougher surface was observed in case of alkali treated fiber, whereas a thin coating layer was formed on the fiber surface during the mixed treatment. However, for some fibers (i.e., sisal and rami), the chemical treatment has a positive impact on the composite properties, whereas for the jute and curauá composites, the best behavior was found for untreated fibers.

“…In this regard, various attempts have been made by different researchers to combine different varieties of natural fiber with synthetic fiber. Almeida et al [17] evaluated the enhancement in the properties of curaua/polyester composites by incorporating chopped glass fibers with chopped caraua fiber. Patel et al [18] reported that the erosive wear resistance of jute/epoxy composite can be improved significantly by hybridizing it with synthetic fiber glass.…”

The processing, characterization, and wear response of a new class of natural fiber (Luffa cylindrica) hybrid composite are described. Composite laminates were fabricated by using the hand lay-up technique. Composites were made with a total of four piles by varying the number and position of glass layers so as to obtain different stacking sequences. The erosion rates of the composites were evaluated by varying the impingement angle, particle speed, and dose of the impinging particles. An experimental plan based on the Taguchi technique was used to achieve the erosion in a controlled way. The study reveals that the impact velocity is the most significant factor influencing the erosion rate of the hybrid composite.
