Which two natural fibres can be hybridized and what type of tests to be carried out on the resulting composite.
many work are carrying out by hybridysing natural fibre with glass, carbon or aramid fibre. This depends on the cost/performance who want to reach.

Flexible composites is the one area where this work will found new directions.

Yes,
As Prof. Le Duigou said, when hybrid biocomposites are mentioned, it is generally plant fibers and glass fibers together to make up for the lower stiffness and strength of plant fibers in comparison to synthetics fibers.
If you want to use different types of plant fibers together, you may select fibers from different classes, such as bast fibers (jute, flax, hemp, ...), leaf fibers (abaca, sisal, ..), seed/fruit fibers (coir, ...) to see the effect of fiber classes on composite properties.
However it should be noted that plant fiber properties are highly variable and they are affected by numerous factors which can be confounding.
The composite properties that can be tested are tensile, flexural, impact properties, water absorption, thermal durability, fractured surface imaging...
