The research investigated the mechanical and thermal properties of composites reinforced with Banana fibre (BF) and Sisal fibre (SF).
Adding natural fibre to starch biopolymer can improve its mechanical and thermal properties, according to studies [10].
As was to be predicted, treating the surface of natural fibres with an alkaline solution changed their mechanical and physical properties by affecting their wettability.
Thermal Properties 2.4.1.
Damping factors of 0.054, 0.056, and 0.055 were achieved by the T-BF7SF3, T-BF5SF5, and T-BF3SF7, compared to treated hybrid composite.

Fiber reinforcement is widely used in construction engineering to improve the mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive and tensile strengths.
In the construction industry, strength, durability and cost are among the major factors for selecting the suitable construction materials.
This could affect the water cement ratio which is considered to be important factor in concrete strength.
The sisal fibers absorbs much water which is added during mixing, which in turn results in the reduction of water-cement ratio (W/C), which is a major factor affecting the concrete strength.

Thermal residual stress is one of the most important factors that affect the mechanical properties of composite materials.
The longitudinal stress on the interface between matrix and fiber is the main factor resulting in debonding failure of composites.
Introduction Fiber-reinforced composites are widely used in aircraft structures [1-3], because it has a lot of unique properties, such as high modulus, light-weight, high failure strength, low creep and good performance at elevated temperature [4].
Among the factors that affect the mechanical performances of composites, thermal residual stress, produced by the curing and cooling process, is a very important one.

Laminated FRP composites exhibit superior in-plane mechanical properties, which are governed by the properties of the fibre phase.
However, the extent of reduction in mechanical properties was found to be significantly higher for CNF-GE composite than control GE composite.
This higher loss in mechanical properties was attributed to the increased tensile thermal stress in the interfacial polymer promoting interfacial slippage.

Abstract The mechanical properties mainly tensile properties, impact toughness and high-cycle fatigue properties, of two-phase Al-20Zn alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) via equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) using route A up to 2 passes were studied.
Unfortunately, their mechanical properties are still inadequate for many engineering applications particularly in as-cast condition.
Mechanical properties and deformation behavior of ECAE processed Al-20Zn alloy were affected strongly by the number of passes.
