      abstract = {The effects of hybridization of palm kernel fibre (PKF) and snail shell filler (SSF) on the thermal properties of epoxy-based composites were studied. The physico-chemical properties of PKF and SSF were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique was employed to determine the melting and oxidation temperatures of the fabricated composites. The thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to assess the stability of the fabricated composites. From the stated assays, the FTIR results reveal that PKF contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, and the SSF has presence of calcium carbonate. DSC results showed that the use of hybrid fillers did not significantly influence the glass transition and melting temperatures of the composites. Further, the TGA results showed that the composite samples with hybrid natural fillers are slightly more thermally stable than the composites with single natural filler.},
