Natural fiber composites provide sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials but often exhibit poor wear resistance and limited thermal stability. This study aims to improve the wear resistance and thermal stability of ramie/epoxy composites through hybridization with basalt and glass fibers. The novelty lies in the comparative evaluation of mineral (basalt) and synthetic (glass) fiber hybridization on interfacial bonding, wear mechanisms, and thermal degradation behavior of ramie-based composites. Composite laminates were fabricated via hand lay-up and tested for dry sliding wear and thermal degradation using pin-on-disc tribometry and thermogravimetric analysis. The hybrid composites showed substantial reductions in specific wear rate compared to the ramie composite, with RG (ramie/glass/epoxy) and RB (ramie/basalt/epoxy) hybrid exhibiting decreases of 47.0% and 31.5%, respectively, at 20 N and 3.14 m s −1 . At lower sliding velocity (1.5 m s −1 ), RG achieved a maximum wear reduction of 68.3%. Coefficient of friction values also decreased for both hybrids under moderate loads. Thermal analysis revealed an increase in 50% mass-loss temperature from 365 °C (RR) to 414.7 °C (RB) and 402.6 °C (RG), indicating enhanced thermal stability. Overall, hybridization with basalt and glass fibers significantly improves the wear behaviour and high-temperature performance of ramie-based composites, demonstrating their suitability for lightweight tribological applications.
