Polymeric hybrid composites consist of the system in which one type of reinforcement is mixed in a different matrix or two or more reinforcements are present in a single polymer matrix. The need of sustainability and green environmental concern leads to the development of hybrid polymeric composites reinforced with one or more reinforcement of nanomaterials and natural fibres. This mixing results with the reduction in water uptake capacity and improvement in mechanical properties. The cost effectiveness and dispersion of nanomaterials with natural fibres are some limiting factors in the development of these advanced composites. The synthesis of polymers based hybrid composites by reactive melt blending technology, using co-rotating twin screw has been developed into a technology of next level.
