Abstract

There is a scope of significance in the natural fibers which is used as reinforcing components for thermo sets matrix and thermoplastics, mainly because of the benefits which ideally offered by natural fibers they are environmentally friendliness, renewability, biodegradability, sustainability, lightness and carbon dioxide reduction in nature, but also as an partial alternative to conventional fiber polymer composites in many industrial applications. The fiber reinforced hybrid composites such as natural and glass will likely have the potential to be used as replacement specifically for the conventional reinforcement material in composites by using only carbon and other such fibers related to it. The hybrid composites are more progressing composites when it is compared with conventional FRP composites. Hybrids can include more than a solo reinforcing phase and a solo matrix phase, a solo reinforcing phase with numerous matrix or multiple phases and multiple reinforcing phases. The natural fibers will have the important properties such as huge availability, affordability and renewability. By combining the Glass fibers with the natural fibers in a hybrid manner some extent of pollution and cost of the composites can be reduced in this project we are comparing with the two different combinations of natural and synthetic fibers to find out the combination including hybrid composites which consist of higher mechanical properties in it.
