  Abstract: This study investigates the effects of thermal conditioning on the mechanical and thermal properties of banana-glass fibre hybrid composites, focusing on their tensile, flexural, impact strength, and thermal conductivity. Hybrid composites were fabricated with varying banana-to-glass fibre ratios of 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70 using a hand layup technique, followed by thermal conditioning at 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C for a specified duration. Results highlight that the 50:50 composite treated at 80°C …
