Özet

This article presents a thorough review of biofiber-based hybrid composites along with the discussion on its mechanical and tribological performance in the polymeric matrix. Emphasis is centered on plant fibers as animal fibers are not frequently used and mineral fibers possess serious health issues. All five types of plant fibers and their hybrids are reviewed. Hybridization of plant fibers synergetically combines individual benefits while eliminating the limitations of single fiber use. Study regarding fiber origin, processability and extraction techniques, composition, chemical surface treatments, and applications are presented. Finally, the results obtained are summarized and future developments are discussed. The review concludes that biofiber hybrid composites possess great potential in several applications provided that satisfies design constraints and polymeric matrix compatibility issues.
