Hybrid composites have better properties than single fiber composites. High-strength and high-modulus Abaca fiber is a kind of high-performance organic fiber rapidly developing in recent years. Taking advantage of its high strength and toughness being combined with silk fiber, it is expected to make a balance between stiffness and toughness, so as to afford a kind of structural composites with high strength and toughness. In this study, a series of hybrid fiber reinforced composites were prepared with high-strength and high-modulus Abaca fiber and silk fiber as reinforcements. Epoxy has high interaction with silk and Abaca fibers so epoxy resin is chosen as the matrix material. The effects of stacking sequence and hybrid ratio on the tensile, compressive and flexural properties and failure modes of the composites will be investigated. Experimental results that tensile, compressive and flexural properties of the hybrid composite will be compared with steel, while failure strain and failure energy were will be compared with the composite constituents.
