Delphi Automotive Sj ems, Woodridge, IL and Hendrickson Innovations International developed and manufactured a plastic composite (glass/ carbon fiber hybrid reinforcement) for use in the medium and heavy duty truck and bus markets. When compared to metals they are lighter and more impact resistant, require less mounting hardware, and designed to conduct 50% less vibration.

Beside the glass fiber hybrid composite, hybrid of EFB and jute fibers was also studied. Two kinds of trilayer hybrid composites were prepared and compared. The composite with EFB as skin material and jute as the core material was compared to the composite with jute as skin material and EFB as the core material. It was reported that all the composites were resistant to various chemicals. Moreover, the tensile properties of the composite having jute as skin and EFB as core material showed higher tensile properties as compared to the other layering pattern. 

As expected, the nominal values of the various properties vary widely from system to system and are also dependent on processing and testing conditions. Even though a very different group of fibers and polymer matrices were presented here, some general trends can be identified. Perhaps, the main one is that fiber hybridization even with a small amoxmt of glass fibers can significantly improve the physical and mechanical properties of natural fiber polymer composites. Moreover, these properties can be...
