The improvement in mechanical properties of biodegradable and sustainable materials like natural fibers turns out to be exceptionally appealing from the financial and biological perspectives. This is achieved by hybridization technique in which different fiber orientations can be adjusted in various arrangements providing variety in its properties. In this study, the authors used different natural fibers in hybridization with glass fibers. The tensile strength of varying glass/sisal and glass/jute contents within the composites were compared. Besides, the effect of hybridization was analyzed. Results revealed that all hybrid composites show low tensile strength as compared to the non-hybrid composites. However, in hybrid composites, the laminate containing a single layer of sisal fiber has shown almost the same tensile strength as non-hybrid composites. Based on results, it is suggested that flax is an appropriate natural fiber to replace E-glass for applications requiring similar strength.
