“…Further studies by Nallusamy and Majumdar [38] reported 53.8 and 39.0% increase in tensile and impact strengths, respectively, for jute/glass fibre hybrid composites compared with pure jute fibre reinforced epoxy counterparts. Reinforcing 50% date palm fibres in epoxy matrix increased the flexural strength and modulus of the resultant composite to 32.6 MPa and 3.3 GPa compared to 26.2 MPa and 2.3 GPa, respectively, for unreinforced epoxy composites [39]. Research has shown that the volume fraction of abaca and glass fibres and stacking sequence determine the mechanical properties of abaca/glass fibre hybrid reinforced composites [40].…”

The global drive towards a circular economy that emphasizes sustainability in production processes has increased the use of agro-based raw materials like natural fibres in applications that have long been dependent on inorganic raw materials. Natural fibres provide an eco-friendly, more sustainable, and low cost alternative to synthetic fibres that have been used for a long time in the development of composite materials. However, natural fibres are associated with high water absorption capacity due to their hydrophilic nature leading to poor compatibility with hydrophobic polymeric matrices, thus lower mechanical properties for various applications. Hybridization of natural fibres with synthetic fibres enhances the mechanical performance of natural fibres for structural and nonstructural applications such as automobile, aerospace, marine, sporting, and defense. There have been increased research interests towards natural/synthetic fibre hybrid composites in the past two decades (2001–2021) to overcome the identified limitations of natural fibres. Therefore, understanding the parameters affecting the properties and potential of using natural and synthetic fibre reinforcements to develop hybrid composites is of great interest. The review showed that using appropriate fibre orientation, fibre weight fraction and stacking sequence yields good mechanical, physical, and thermal properties that are competitive with what only synthetic fibre reinforced composites can achieve. In addition, these properties can be improved through pretreatment of natural fibres using different chemicals. This paper provides in review form the parameters affecting the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of natural/synthetic fibre hybrid reinforced polymer composites from the year 2001 to 2021.

“…Taking GFRP as an example, the polymer matrix/glass fiber combination (a fiber volume fraction of 55–60 vol % is considered to be standard [6]) leads to versatile properties, such as chemical resistance, electrical insulation, high stiffness, high strength‐to‐weight ratio, long durability, and low weight, and is more cost‐effective to produce compared to CFRP [7, 8]. Accordingly, GFRP are used in numerous applications such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and wind turbine blade manufacturing [9–12]. On the other hand, their recycling poses technical and economic challenges, and therefore they have been landfilled and incinerated for decades [13].…”

A rectangular polymer profile made of glass fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic sheathing material and a polyethylene terephthalate foam core were to be separated for recycling. For this purpose, a mechanical recycling process utilizing a cutting mill and the high‐voltage fragmentation (HVF) process were used and their achievements in composite separation were compared. For both separation methods, parameter variations resulted in a total of two test series each consisting of drying, screening, optional density separation, ashing, weighing, microscopic analyses, and glass fiber length measurements. Using HVF, a better separation of the core and sheath materials was achieved and longer glass fibers could be recovered.

At present, the Philippines is the top producer of natural fibers globally. This production of abaca and pineapple leaf fiber increased as time passed by. However, applying these fibers is limited and needs further studies to be efficiently utilized. This study introduced the usage of treated Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) by incorporating it to cement boards and evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of fiber cement boards (FCB). This study's experimental results showed a significant increase in compression strength in 5% fiber reinforcement, higher than the compression capacity of cement board without fiber. In addition, the physical properties of the cement board reinforced with Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) showed good characteristics in terms of drilling, impact, density, and water absorption tests. The cement board reinforced with 5% Abaca fiber and Pineapple leaf fiber (AFPLF) produces the best results regarding the fiber cement board's physical and mechanical aspects.
