Types of hybrid natural fiber/synthetic fiber reinforced polymer matrix use in ballistic application.

Hybrid Natural Fiber/Synthetic Fiber	Polymer Matrix	Remarks	Ref.
Woven kenaf and Kevlar	Epoxy	Using amine hardener	[29]
Pineapple leaf, aramid, polyethylene	Epoxy	Using triethylene tetramine (TETA) hardener	[30]
Non-woven kenaf and Kevlar	Epoxy	The resin was cured using joint amine type (905–3S)	[31]
Sisal fiber and polyaramid fibers	Epoxy	Sisal fibers was cutting to 3.5 mm in length. Then drying sunlight for 3 to 5 h eliminated moisture	[32]
Woven kenaf, Kevlar hybrid yarn	Epoxy	Kenaf fiber at 75.08 tex	[33]
Polyaramid, Kevlar	Vinyl ester	Kevlar fabric was cut in 300 × 300 mm2 pieces	[34]
Woven fabric	Unsaturated polyester Resin	Using 50% fiber volume	[35]
Plain Woven Kenaf, aramid	PVB phenolic	The stack of polymer composite consists of 19 layer	[36]
Single and yarns fiber (carbon, glass and para-aramid fiber)	Epoxy	Consists of 1,5 and 10 layer of polymer composite	[37]
Woven glass and graphite fiber	Epoxy	Fiber volume fraction for all types was 55%	[38]
carbon-aramid	Epoxy	Using different layer for each sample	[39]
Kevlar	Thermosetting resin	Average fiber weight fraction of 75% for each sample	[40]
Graphene nanoplatelets, glass fiber	Araldite epoxy resin	addition of graphene platelets (GNPs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), combined hybrid hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS)/CNT, and combined boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)/GNPs nanoparticles	[11]
E-glass fiber	Epoxy	Single fiber diameter of 14e16 mm was used. E-glass fibers were sized using epoxy silanes of max. 0.4% by weight	[41]
Polyethylene fiber and carbon fiber	Polyurethane and epoxy	Forms 12 layer of hybrid composite	[42]
-	Thermoplastic polyurethanes, polypropylene and polycarbonate	Forms a sandwich composite layer for bulletproof system	[43]
Aramid and Kevlar	Epoxy	Using plain Kevlar	[44]
