TLDR
This study shows that the addition of jute fiber and glass fiber in epoxy, increases the density, the impact energy, the tensile strength and the flexural strength, but decreases the loss mass in function of temperature and the water absorption.About:

Are natural fiber composites environmentally superior to glass fiber reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review select comparative life cycle assessment studies of natural fiber and glass fiber composites, and identify key drivers of their relative environmental performance, and conclude that natural fiber composite is likely to be environmentally superior to glass fiber composite in most cases.

The mechanical performance of hybrid phenol-formaldehyde-based composites reinforced with glass and oil palm fibres
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact strength and the density of the composites showed similar trends with an increase in fibre loading, however, elongation at break and flexural modulus are found to decrease beyond 40 wt% fibre loading.

Study on the mechanical properties and thermal properties of jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical and thermal properties of raw jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were investigated and compared and it was shown that the addition of banana fiber in jute/epoxy composites of up to 50% by weight results in increasing the mechanical properties and decreasing the moisture absorption property.

Effect of glass fiber hybridization on properties of sisal fiber–polypropylene composites
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of glass fiber hybridization on the physical properties of sisal-polypropylene composites was investigated, and polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the compatibility between the fibers and polyethylene.
