“…Most of the drawbacks that have been identified can be overcome by effective hybridization of natural fibre with synthetic fibre or natural fibre. Hybrid composites are these systems in which one kind of reinforcing material incorporated in a mixture of different matrices (blends) (Thwe and Liao 2003), or two or more reinforcing and filling materials are present in a single matrix (Karger-Kocsis 2000; Fu et al 2002) or both approaches are combined. Hybrid composite which contain two or more types of fibre in a single matrix, the advantages of one type of fibre could complement with what are lacking in the other.…”

“…Hybrid composites are the systems where one type of reinforcing or filler material is incorporated or added in a mixture of dissimilar or different matrices (blends) [84], or two or more reinforcing or filling materials are present in a single matrix [85,86] or, also, both approaches are combined. The integration of variety of fibers in a single matrix results in the development of hybrid biocomposites.…”

Abstract:The increasing demand for greener and biodegradable materials leading to the satisfaction of society requires a compelling towards the advancement of nano-materials science. The polymeric matrix materials with suitable and proper filler, better filler/matrix interaction together with advanced and new methods or approaches are able to develop polymeric composites which shows great prospective applications in constructions and buildings, automotive, aerospace and packaging industries. The biodegradability of the natural fibers is considered as the most important and interesting aspects of their utilization in polymeric materials. Nanocomposite shows considerable applications in different fields because of larger surface area, and greater aspect ratio, with fascinating properties. Being environmentally friendly, applications of nanocomposites offer new technology and business opportunities for several sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biotechnology industries. Hybrid bio-based composites that exploit the synergy between natural fibers in a nano-reinforced bio-based polymer can lead to improved properties along with maintaining environmental appeal. This review article intended to present information about diverse classes of natural fibers, nanofiller, cellulosic fiber based composite, nanocomposite, and natural fiber/nanofiller-based hybrid composite with specific concern to their applications. It will also provide summary of the emerging new OPEN ACCESSPolymers 2014, 6 2248 aspects of nanotechnology for development of hybrid composites for the sustainable and greener environment.

“…There are some reports of 'hybrid' composites, notably from the study based on computer modelling of a composite comprising (i.e., non-fibre-like) particles and fibres blended in polymer composites [64], and banana/sisal fibres blended in epoxy resin [65]. Of note, the mechanical properties of a banana/sisal fibre-reinforced epoxy resin composite have been evaluated based on the rule-of-mixture for hybrid composites [49].…”

A comparative analysis of the effects of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and hydroxyapatite (HA) for reinforcing chitosan (CS) is given here. Wet-spun CS nanocomposite fibres, blended with HA or POSS nanoparticles, at varying concentrations ranging from 1 to 9% (w/w) were stretched until rupture to determine the mechanical properties related to the elasticity (yield strength and strain, stiffness, resilience energy) and fracture (fracture strength strain and toughness) of the composite. Two-factor analysis of variance of the data concluded that only the fracture-related properties were sensitive to interaction effects between the particle type and concentration. When particle type is considered, the stiffness and yield strength of CS/POSS fibres are higher than CS/HA fibres-the converse holds for yield strain, extensibility and fracture toughness. With regards to sensitivity to particle concentration, stiffness and yield strength reveal trending increase to a peak value (the optimal particle concentration associated with the critical aggregation) and trending decrease thereafter, with increasing particle concentration. Although fracture strength, strain at fracture and fracture toughness are also sensitive to particle concentration, no apparent trending increase/decrease is sustained over the particle concentration range investigated here. This simple study provides further understanding into the mechanics of particle-reinforced composites-the insights derived here concerning the optimized mechanical properties of chitosan composite fibre may be further developed to permit us to tune the mechanical properties to suit the biomedical engineering application.
