Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites (2007, background): “One of the main concerns for the use of natural fibre reinforced composite materials is their susceptibility to moisture absorption and the effect on physical, mechanical and thermal properties [8].”
Light-weight high-strength hollow glass microspheres and bamboo fiber based hybrid polypropylene composite: A strength analysis and morphological study (2017, background): “[50] wherein improved interfacial adhesion is reported to contribute to a stronger and stiffer material.”
Comparative Study of Dielectric Properties of Hybrid Natural Fiber Composites (2014, background): “Hybrid composite materials provide a good balance between the cost of the composite and the performance properties that cannot be obtained with a single kind of reinforcement [14].”
Effect of water absorption on pultruded jute/glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites (2012, background): “The third involves transportation of micro cracks in the matrix, arising from the swelling of fibers, particularly in the case of natural fiber composites.(9,12) One possibility, to obtain a composite with better mechanical performance, is reinforcement by two or more fiber-types in a single matrix,”
Studies on hybridization effect of jute/kenaf/E-glass woven fabric epoxy composites for potential applications: Effect of laminate stacking sequences (2018, methodology): “The incorporation of E-glass increases the tensile properties of the composite laminates [12, 13, 15, 17, 20] and mixing the jute and kenaf with glass fibers improves the tendency to withstand more tensile load [22, 27].”
