  "abstract": "<p>Currently, composite materials are becoming popular in the automotive and aeronautics<br>\nindustries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional engineering<br>\nmaterials. Bio-fiber composites are among natural fiber composites with carbon negative, bio<br>\ndegradable and renewable capabilities. In this research, the main aim was to investigate the<br>\nmechanical and water-absorbing properties of sisal and sugarcane bagasse hybrid fiber<br>\npolyester composite. During the manufacturing methods, extracting sisal fiber from the sisal<br>\nplant, cutting of sugarcane bagasse fiber into chopped form and chemical treatment of the fibers<br>\nwith 5% NaOH solution for 24 hours were pre manufacturing process. Measuring the weight<br>\nof these two constituent fibers in three different proportions as 10%Wt of sisal fiber with<br>\n20%Wt of sugarcane bagasse fiber (10S/20B), 15%Wt of sisal fiber with 15%Wt of sugarcane<br>\nbagasse fiber (15S/15B) and 20%Wt of sisal fiber with 10%Wt of sugarcane bagasse fiber (the<br>\n20S/10B) to be manufactured in three different layering sequences of Sisal-Bagasse-Sisal<br>\n(SBS), Uniform mixing (UNF) and Bagasse-Sisal-Bagasse (BSB) at two different curing<br>\ntemperatures (25&deg;C and 60&deg;C) was the next process. Hand layup these metered fibers with<br>\npolyester resin and pressing with a hydraulic press machine in the confined steel molds was<br>\nthe second process. The manufactured samples were cut into the appropriate dimensions based<br>\non ASTM standards of 2017 for each test after they have been cured enough</p>",
