Innovations in Biobased Hybrid Composites

Biofiber reinforced hybrid composites have been the major subject of research in recent years. Most published reports limited to the hybrid composite consist 

1 Mechanical Properties of Biobased Hybrid Composites of Banana/Glass and PP 

Sample Type Banana Content (%) Glass Content (%) Tensile Strength (MPa) Tensile Modulus (MPa) Impact Strength (J/m) 

It is observed that the banana fiber alone cannot withstand the heavy load and leads to the failure in the composites. In the present investigation, the optimum tensile strength at 15 wt% of each banana and glass fiber loading was observed, which is primarily because at this particular composition banana
