Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Currently, hybridizing natural fibers with synthetic fiber is considered as the best solution for reducing the environmental pollution and the cost of materials. This is due to the lower mechanical properties and high water absorption capacity problems of natural fiber reinforced composites and nonbiodegradability and high‐cost problem of synthetic ...
