Hybrid composites utilize more than one kind of strands within the same matrix to urge the synergistic impact of both fibers' properties on composites' general properties. Hybridization can be performed from artificial, natural, and a combination of both fibers. The constituent filaments can be altered in numerous ways, driving to the variety in composite properties. Partial substitution of glass fiber with natural ones offers an advantage compared with glass fiber composites while permitting to obtain a mechanical performance higher than using pure natural fiber composites. Recently, researchers are tending towards the development of hybrid composites which will provide good static properties. In this context, a concise review has been done on the recent developments of natural/glass fiber-reinforced composites made by hand lay-up method. It includes a survey of the past research already available involving the hybrid composites and the effect of various parameters on composites' performance studied by various researchers.

The application of natural fiber-reinforced composites is gaining interest in the automotive, aerospace, construction, and marine fields due to its advantages of being environmentally friendly and lightweight, having a low cost, and having a lower energy consumption during production. The incorporation of natural fibers with glass fiber hybrid composites may lead to some engineering and industrial applications. In this study, abaca/glass fiber composites were prepared using the vacuum-assisted resin transfer method (VARTM). The effect of different lamination stacking sequences of abaca–glass fibers on the tensile, flexural, and impact properties was evaluated. The morphological failure behavior of the fractured-tensile property was evaluated by 3D X-ray Computed Tomography and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results of mechanical properties were mainly dependent on the volume fraction of abaca fibers, glass fibers, and the arrangement of stacking sequences in the laminates. The higher volume fraction of abaca fiber resulted in a decrease in mechanical properties causing fiber fracture, resin cracking, and fiber pullout due to poor bonding between the fibers and the matrix. The addition of glass woven roving in the composites increased the mechanical properties despite the occurrence of severe delamination between the abaca–strand mat glass fiber.

Usage of Natural Fiber Composites (NFC) is increased rapidly due to the bio degradability nature of the fibers. These natural fibers are mixed with synthetic fibers to obtain better mechanical properties. In this study, pine apple and glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites are developed and their mechanical properties were evaluated. Composites were prepared by varying the fibers content and by using hand layup process with glass moulds of size 160 x 160 x 3 mm3 . The obtained laminates were sliced as per the ASTM criterion to test the properties. Higher glass fiber content in the composite specimen obtained higher mechanical properties. The composites can be utilized for the purpose of manufacturing components like doors panels, desks, roof tops etc.

A hybrid composites mechanical properties consisting of un-treated and treated bast Kenaf fiber and E- glass fiber was investigated by varying the fiber glass weight ratio and using interplay fabrication method. A further comparison was made with corresponding properties of 100% wt E-glass fiber composites sample. The expected results were to have better composites performance in terms of toughness and impact strength as a comparison between the E- glass fiber reinforced composites and Kenaf fiber reinforced composites alone. All samples are prepared using typical samples preparation techniques. Result shows that the incorporation of E – glass fiber resulted in brittle failure and a higher amount of E-Glass fiber with low percentage of Kenaf fiber resulted in high strength, low ductile and low toughness behavior.

The knowledge of mechanical properties of reinforced hybrid composites is very abundant, even though this could be one of the critical issues for many practical applications. This paper has the detailed study and a road to know more about the flax/glass fiber composites and its review on the appliance, property oriented with some of the special properties of the fiber. However, the occurrence of flax fiber is in the cooler regions of western country the worth of flax was more in the replacement of synthetic fibers as a replica of its own property in the application purposes Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the strength and performance of glass and flax fiber reinforced hybrid composite by a comprehensive set of experiments. The method of preparation to prepare the composite is by compression molding technique. The final result conclude that (48%flax/32% glass) has maximum tensile strength with the sample id 5,(50%flax/50%glass) has maximum flexural strength for the sample id 6 and the impact strength is for the ample id 7 (24%flax/56%glass) fiber composites.

In this study, various treated, untreated, and treated kenaf/glass fiber composites were fabricated using epoxy resin. A portion of kenaf fibers were subjected to treatment with alkali, sub-portion was taken for benzoyl peroxide and potassium permanganate prior to composite fabrication. This treatment on the composite material was undertaken to achieve improved modification of the interface between the matrix and fiber bond. A portion of the glass fiber was used for enhancing the mechanical properties of the hybrid composite. The tensile strength, flexural, density, water absorption and chemical resistance of the composites were analyzed using standard methods. FTIR was conducted on the fiber to ascertain the chemical treatment on the fibers, FESEM was used for the morphological study. The results obtained showed that the tensile and flexural strength improved from 46.45-298.3 kgf, and 10.5-54.7 kgf, respectively, in the composite samples. Chemical resistance of the kenaf fiber treated potassium permanganate composite improved compared to the untreated fiber composite in both cases. The density and water absorption properties of the composites were found to decrease in the treated fibers compared to untreated fiber composites, this treated composites showed less water absorption and density. The FTIR result revealed that reaction has taken place between the fiber and the treatment reagent. Hence, fiber modification has improved the properties of the composites due to increase in fiber-matrix interaction.                     KEY WORDS: Chemical properties, Epoxy resin, Hybrid, Kenaf, Mechanical strength, Natural fiber   Bull.

In the present paper, pCBT casts and pCBT/E-glass fiber composites were prepared. In order to study the mechanical performance of the thermoplastic material in the aging environment, the specimens were exposed to salt spray, hygrothermal as well as immersion conditions. The hygroscopicity and mechanisation of the material were studied. From this research work, it is found that, in corrosion tests, the water absorb rate increases at the beginning of the test and decreases with the increase of time. Chloride ion concentrationb and a higher corrosion time have some influence on the moisture absorption kinetics. The results also show that the mechanical properties such as modulus and strength of pCBT and its glass fiber composites change with the trendency of moisture absorption curves.
