Biocomposites are being explored by research communityfor the past few decades due to rising environmental concerns. Moisture uptake, poor interface and moderate to lower mechanical properties have proved to be a bottleneck for biocomposites to partially or fully replace synthetic composites. The concept of hybridising, i.e. incorporating two or more reinforcements instead of single reinforcement in a matrix, has the potential to overcome this bottleneck by exploiting the desired contribution of both the reinforcing phases. Although hybrid composites have already extensively explored for high-performance fibres, the studies on hybrid composites using biodegradable constituents still lag behind. This review addresses studies conducted on hybrid composites using at least one biodegradable component and the findings in terms of properties and factors affecting them are discussed. The analysis on synergistic effect reported by researchers along with the scope of ongoing research and prospects for hybrid biocomposites have also been discussed in detail.

混合生物复合材料

由于对环境的日益关注，过去几十年来，研究团体一直在探索生物复合材料。事实证明，水分吸收，不良的界面和中等至较低的机械性能是生物复合材料部分或完全替代合成复合材料的瓶颈。杂交的概念，即在基质中掺入两个或多个增强剂而不是单个增强剂，具有通过利用两个增强相的期望贡献来克服该瓶颈的潜力。尽管杂化复合材料已经广泛地研究了高性能纤维，但是使用可生物降解成分的杂化复合材料的研究仍然落后。这篇综述涉及使用至少一种生物可降解成分对杂化复合材料进行的研究，并讨论了有关影响它们的性质和因素的发现。还详细讨论了研究人员报告的协同效应分析，以及正在进行的研究范围和杂交生物复合材料的前景。
