An extra degree of flexibility in fiber composites can be obtained by making what are called hybrid composites, wherein one uses more than one type of fiber. Cost-performance effectiveness can be increased by judiciously using different reinforcement types and selectively placing them to get the highest strength in highly stressed locations and directions. In hybrid composites, the cost can be minimized by reducing the carbon fiber content, while the performance...

A composite material is a materials system made up of two or more micro or macro elements with different forms and chemical compositions that are largely insoluble in one another. It basically comprises of two phases: matrix and fiber. Polymers, ceramics, and metals such as nylon, glass, graphite, Aluminium oxide, boron, and aluminium are examples of fibres. In the present research work epoxy is used as matrix and Bamboo, Sugarcane Bagasse and Coconut fibre are used as fibres for preparing the composites. In the preparation of specimen, the fibre as taken as a continuous fibre. The fibre is treated with NaOH solution. Hybrid natural fibre reinforced composites of bamboo, sugarcane baggase and coconut coir has been prepared using hand lay-up process of composite manufacturing. These hybrid composites were tested for determining their tensile and impact strengths. Results of mechanical testing reveals that the tensile strength of Bamboo-Bagasse hybrid composite is more compared to other composites. Taking into consideration of enhanced tensile and impact strength of bamboo-bagasse hybrid natural fibre polymer composite, we recommend the use of hybrid bamboo-bagasse composite in manufacturing of automotive bodies. Because of their unique characteristics of recyclability, waste utilization, biodegradability, good strength, and a viable alternative to plastics, these composites can be used for a variety of applications.
A Review on Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Composites
Natural fibres will take a major role in the emerging " green " economy based on energy efficiency, the use of renewable materials in polymer products, industrial processes that reduce carbon emissions and recyclable materials that minimize waste. Natural fibres are a kind of renewable resources, which have been renewed by nature and human ingenuity for thousands of years. They are also carbon neutral; they absorb the equal amount of carbon dioxide they produce. These fibers are completely renewable, environmental friendly, high specific strength, non-abrasive, low cost, and bio-degradability. Due to these characteristics, natural fibers have recently become attractive to researchers and scientists as an alternative method for fibers reinforced composites. This review paper summarized the history of natural fibers and its applications. Also, this paper focused on different properties of natural fibers (such as hemp, jute, bamboo and sisal) and its applications which were used to substitute glass fiber.

Green Biocomposites, 2016
Hybrid polymer composite were prepared by incorporating two indigenous agro-industrial waste reinforcements, sugarcane bagasse fiber (SBF) and coconut coir fiber (CCF) into epoxy resin through the hand lay-up technique. Nano-silica was also added to enhance the mechanical performance of composite materials. The alkaline treatment on the surface of natural fibers was carried out and its effects on the mechanical properties were investigated. Generally, it is found that the CCF reinforced epoxy composites exhibited higher mechanical properties as compared to the SBF reinforced epoxy composites. For hybrid composite samples, (2.5wt%SBF+12.5wt%CCF) had attained the highest mechanical performance amongst all other different ratio percentage of hybrid polymer composite.

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 (200...
