“…This is attributed to a lack of adhesion between the fiber and the natural fiber composite matrix, which results in a reduction in load-carrying capacity. Sivakumar et al [192] prepared hybrid plain weave kenaf fabric with annealed aluminum laminates reinforced and PP as a matrix material using the hot press compression method. The effects of kenaf fabric layers (one, two, and three layers), fiber orientations (0 • /90 • and ±45 • ), and chemical treatment (untreated and alkaline treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH)) on the tensile properties were investigated.…”

In the field of hybrid natural fiber polymer composites, there has been a recent surge in research and innovation for structural applications. To expand the strengths and applications of this category of materials, significant effort was put into improving their mechanical properties. Hybridization is a designed technique for fiber-reinforced composite materials that involves combining two or more fibers of different groups within a single matrix to manipulate the desired properties. They may be made from a mix of natural and synthetic fibers, synthetic and synthetic fibers, or natural fiber and carbonaceous materials. Owing to their diverse properties, hybrid natural fiber composite materials are manufactured from a variety of materials, including rubber, elastomer, metal, ceramics, glasses, and plants, which come in composite, sandwich laminate, lattice, and segmented shapes. Hybrid composites have a wide range of uses, including in aerospace interiors, naval, civil building, industrial, and sporting goods. This study intends to provide a summary of the factors that contribute to natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites’ mechanical and structural failure as well as overview the details and developments that have been achieved with the composites.

“…The higher tensile and flexural properties of FMLs with through‐thickness woven fabric are ascribed to the higher metal volume fraction and less crimp level of the materials. Sivakumar et al 168 explored the effect of the number of kenaf fabric layers and fiber orientation on the tensile properties of FMLs. The tensile properties of untreated kenaf fiber‐based FMLs and alkali‐treated kenaf fabric‐based FMLs were also compared.…”

The development of hybrid materials consisting of alternating layers of metal alloys and polymeric composites has revolutionized the engineering field. These metal‐composite laminates combine the merits of each individual component, forming advanced and promising structures which could be employed for structural applications. The low fatigue crack growth rate and high damage tolerance of these materials are particularly fascinating. When developing metal‐composite laminates with superb functional properties, the combination of several metal surface treatment techniques is a common practice to ensure optimum metal‐composite adhesion. Today, a new cutting‐edge manufacturing technique utilizing nano‐porous network film has been established to get rid of the massive infrastructure of conventional autoclave techniques and produce first‐rate materials. Even though various techniques can be adopted to manufacture metal‐composite laminates, the selection of the techniques is highly dependent on the nature of the polymer matrix. After the manufacture of the metal‐composite laminates, post‐stretching is considered a critical step to alleviate the unfavorable residual stress to ensure the optimum performance of these materials for long‐term service. When dealing with natural fibers, it is worth mentioning that the processing temperature should be limited to below 200°C regardless of manufacturing technique to avoid fiber degradation. Metal‐composite laminates consisting of synthetic/natural fibers are considered a viable option to offset the demerits of each kind of fibers. By incorporating fatigue‐resilient natural fibers in the laminates, it is expected that the overall fatigue resistance of the laminates can be apparently enhanced, which is in line with the initial goal of developing metal‐composite laminates.Highlights Fiber bridging offers fiber‐metal laminates with superior fatigue properties. Metal surface treatment is vital to ensure an optimum fiber‐bridging mechanism. A novel out‐of‐autoclave method can produce first‐grade fiber‐metal laminates. Post‐stretching is needed to lessen residual stress in fiber‐metal laminates. Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates are feasible for structural applications.

Nowadays natural fibers are getting attention from researchers and scholars to use it for construction of buildings because of their sustainability and eco friendly nature. There are various natural fibers like bamboo, sugarcane fiber, coconut coir, sisal fiber, flax fiber etc., are available for construction. Aim of this paper is to give a detailed study about various experiments conducted on the reinforced concrete structure that are strengthened with fiber laminate. The failure load, ductility, crack pattern, strength properties, flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam, viscous and mechanical properties and strain characteristics of strengthened beams with different natural fiber composite laminates are reviewed. The result shows that the strength, ductility and durability properties of concrete are increased according to their proportions.
