| Abstract: | A review on the mechanical properties of hybrid fibers-reinforced polymer composite is presented in this article. Fiber-reinforced polymer composite has a lot of advantages such as high strength, low density, and ease of processing. Fiber-reinforced polymer composite has been used in many areas such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. Incorporation of two or more fibers into a single polymer matrix leads the development of hybrid composite. Hybridization can improve the mechanical properties of single fiber-reinforced polymer composite. This study shows that mechanical properties of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite increase due to incorporation of comparably high elongation fibers. |
