Abstract
Increasing scientific interest has occurred concerning the utilization of natural fiber-enhanced hybrid composites that incorporate one or more types of natural enhancement. Annual natural fiber production is estimated to be 1,783,965 tons/year. Extensive studies have been conducted in the domains of natural/synthetic as well as natural/natural hybrid composites. As synthetic fibers have better rigidity and strength than natural fibers, natural/synthetic hybrid composites have superior qualities via hybridization compared to natural composites in fibers. In general, natural fiber compounds have lower characteristics, limiting the use of natural composites reinforced by fiber. Significant effort was spent in enhancing the mechanical characteristics of this group of materials to increase their strengths and applications, especially via the hybridization process, by manipulating the characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite materials. Current studies concentrate on enhancing the understanding of natural fiber-matrix adhesion, enhancing processing methods, and natural fiber compatibility. The optimal and resilient conceptions have also been addressed due to the inherently more significant variabilities. Moreover, much research has tackled natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite costs. In addition, this review article aims to offer a review of the variables that lead to the mechanical and structural failure of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites, as well as an overview of the details and costings of the composites.

IntroductionComposite materials are produced from a combination of two or more elements that are distinguishable to enhance the characteristics of the individual element [1,2]
Composite materials are produced from a combination of two or more elements that are distinguishable to enhance the characteristics of the individual element [1,2].Newly invented materials may be favored for various reasons, e.g., they are stronger, more lightweight, and less costly than existing materials [3,4,5]
The findings demonstrated that nonhybrid composites revealed the lowest moduli compared with the hybrid composites; in addition, moduli of the hybrid composites strictly adhered with the relationship between the fiber reinforcement to wood filler
Summary
Composite materials are produced from a combination of two or more elements that are distinguishable to enhance the characteristics of the individual element [1,2]. The simplest textile-based composites, called textolites, contain two constituents, polymer matrix and reinforcement such as natural, synthetic or hybrid fibers, or fabrics. Natural Fiber (NF) Fiber is the continuous filaments hair-like material of elongated piece that is similar to a thread, while fibers is a group of fiber that can be coiled into rope, filaments, or thread [17,18,19] They are useful as of the composite materials’ element and were formed into sheets to produce felt or paper. Over the past few years, natural fibers have become eminent reinforcing fibers in polymer-matrix composites (PMC). They offer rapidly increasing and abundant characteristics, allowing them to be obtained at a small cost. 70 200 10,000 Abundant 100 18,500 Abundant 810 215 2500 770 Abundant Abundant 100 Abundant 250 380 70 1,750,000
