This research evaluated the mechanical and moisture resistance characteristics of unidirectionally oriented Flax and Jute fiber-embedded Epoxy Composites (FJEC) for lightweight structural applications. The inclusion of nano clay in the natural laminates creates more energy-absorbing sites, which improves the ability to withstand impact forces compared to FJEC. The material strength of nano clay-infused hybrid composite attained 94.46 MPa, 98.44 MPa, and 92 KJ/m2 tensile, flexural and impact strength. The consequences of water absorption and humidity exposure to the materials revealed that nano clay helps to reduce the diffusion of water into the surface of the laminate. The nano clay-infused hybrid composite is subjected to Freeze-Thaw (Fz-Tw) cycling under both partial and complete immersion scenarios to analyze the durability and resilience of the composite. The performance loss in nano-clay-infused laminate is caused due to the prolonged exposure to water and thermal stress. The damage factor for a partially and completely immersed hybrid material is 1.2% and 2.2%, respectively. These findings highlighted the need for considering environmental conditions while designing and utilizing fiber incorporated materials in various applications. 2026 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.
