• Effect of fiber length and fiber content on mechanical properties of banana fiber/epoxy composite (2011, background): “Visco-elastic property of the banana/ sisal (1:1 ratio) hybrid composite was studied by Idicula et al.8 The study shows that sisal/polyester composite has maximum damping behavior and highest impact strength as compared to banana/polyester and hybrid composite.”
• Effect of jute fibre loading on tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of oil palm epoxy composites (2013, result): “Similar study reported on tensile strength of the hybrid composites and it showed a positive hybrid effect when the relative volume fraction of the two fibres was varied, and the maximum tensile strength was found to be in the hybrid composite having a ratio of banana and sisal of 4:1 [12].”
• Study of hybrid intralaminate curaua/glass composites (2012, background): “[9] studied the dynamic mechanical properties of randomly oriented short banana/sisal/polyester hybrid composites and concluded that higher compatibility was obtained hybridizing these fibers, leading to higher stress transfer ability.”
• Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, background): “The hybrid effect on the mechanical properties of abaca and sisal fiber reinforced polyester composites was evaluated [292].”
• Hybridization effect on the mechanical properties of curaua/glass fiber composites (2013, background): “Sisal, flax, hemp, jute, banana and curaua are all natural fibers used to reinforce polymer composites (thermosets and thermoplastics) [1].”
