Each of the hybrid composite fabricated: Cotton fabric reinforcedhybrid composite (CtRHC) and Polyester fabric reinforced hybridcomposite (PeHC), was reinforced with two, three and four layerscotton or polyester. The control samples were the composite withoutany textile fabric reinforcement. Flexural strength, impact strength, water absorption and thicknessswelling tests were conducted to determine the mechanical andphysical properties of the fabricated hybrid compositesrespectively. On the other hand, the composite materials have good properties ifthe substances are strongly bonded with each other. Nevertheless,the polyester fabric does not adhere well with rubberwood andcoconut shell mixture. This makes this material system relativelynot strong. The delimitation also indicated that the compressionload was not effectively transferred from rubberwood and coconutmixture to the polyester fabrics. It is believed that the PeHCsample could have a better flexural strength than CtHC, if the PeHCsample performed good adhesion in their system. Overall, the cotton and polyester hybrids recorded a higher impactenergy than the control sample. The impact load had distributedeffectively due to good adhesion between the cotton fabric with therubberwood and coconut shell particles. The samples also exhibited better impact damage tolerance. Fibrefailure turned smaller as the number of fabric layers increased,indicating that a higher PeHC system can absorb the impact energy. Again, it is believed that the polyester hybrid composite couldhave better impact properties if the polyester performs goodsurface adhesion with the rubber wood and coconut particles.Another factor that contributes to higher impact properties is theproperties of polyester fabric itself. Polyester fabric is known tohave good elongation between 30 -- 40% and this property makes thehybrid composites more ductile and able to withstand impact. The results of flexural and impact tests showed that the mechanicalproperties of this new fabricated hybrid composites were betterthan the control sample. The cotton fabric reinforced hybrid composite samples had betterflexural but lower impact strength in comparison with the polyesterreinforced hybrid composites. All newly fabricated hybridcomposites also recorded to have a lower water absorption than thecontrol sample. The cotton hybrid showed lower water absorption than the polyesterhybrid due to poor adhesion between polyester and ureaformaldehyde. Both types of hybrid composite showed higher valuesthan the control in thickness swelling. In short, polyester strengthened with particles of rubber wood andcoconut shell is stronger than the normal ones.
