This study has been undertaken to mechanical characterization of Banana-Glass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites. Natural fibers have higher economic impact and miniature in density when compared to glass fibers while making composites. Though the strength of the natural fibers is not as high as glass fibers, these specific properties are comparable. In this project a study has been carried to characterize the mechanical properties of hybrid composite made by intruding unidirectional banana and unidirectional glass fibers in to epoxy resin mixture. The hand Layup method of fabrication was employed in preparing the composites laminates of unidirectional Banana-Glass fiber. The objective of present work is to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of laminates such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and hardness of different composition of unidirectional Banana and E-glass fabrics. Also to evaluate the density of each laminate and water absorption properties.

Natural fibers, unidirectional banana fabric, unidirectional E-Glass fabric, composite laminates, properties of banana and E- glass fibers, mechanical properties.
