The key focus of this work was to examine the effect of hybrid fiber reinforcement on thethermal properties of particulate based natural fiber-reinforced hybrid composites. Banana and sisal fiberswere selected as natural fiber reinforcements for the polyester matrix based composites, which wereproduced by mechanical stir mix technique. Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier-TransformInfrared Spectroscopy (FTIS) were conducted in accordance with American Society for Testing andMaterials (ASTM) standards for the characterization of the hybrid composites. The FTIS result shows thedisappearance of 1735 cm-1 peak, a notable evidence of NaOH treatment. The thermal analysis showedthat the hybridization significantly affected the high temperature stability of the composite, with 70%Sisal/30%Banana found to have the lowest high temperature mass loss at a temperature of 300–520oC, thushighest high temperature stability. Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG) results shows a minor mass lossrate at a temperature range of 50–150oC as well as a major mass loss rate due to pyrolysis of key fiberconstituents such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin between 260 and 350oC. Also it was observed thatas the percentage of banana in the hybrid fiber increases the speed of high temperature mass loss reduces.

Recently, most of the industries are looking towards to incorporate sustainable, renewable, eco- friendly and affordable raw materials and production process. To achieve this goal, engineers and technologist are working on biocomposite material. The primary reason behind the selection of natural fiber based material in the automobile, construction, and aerospace industry is its low cost, lightweight, high specific strength and modulus, biodegradability, and friendly processing. Inspite of all beneficial features, one of the main barriers to their utilization in all mentioned sectors is thermal degradability. Natural fibers can be subjected to thermal degradation during composite processing and their application in the high-temperature field. So it is practically significant to understand the thermal decomposition of lignocellulosic fibers and to modify it for the purpose of high-temperature stability. In this work, alkaline treatment of varying concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10 wt %) was used to study the effect of alkaline treatment on thermal stability of pineapple leaf fibers. The thermal behavior of untreated and alkali treated pineapple leaf fiber was examined by using a thermal gravimetric analysis instrument (TGA). The results show that 4 wt% NaOH treated pineapple leaf fiber have maximum thermal stability. The decomposition of untreated and treated PALF was a two-stage process attributed to the thermal decomposition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The results also showed that the temperature of initial degradation 251 0C increased to 285 0C after 4% alkaline treatment due to partial removal of hemicellulose and lignin.
