The composite manufacturing has been a wide area of research and it is the preferred choice due to its superior properties like low density, stiffness, light weight and possesses better mechanical properties. This has found its wide applications in aerospace, automotive, marine and sporting industries. There has been continuous lookout for synthesizing composites without compromising on the mechanical. In the present study polymer composite reinforced with pine apple leaf fiber and carbon powder are fabricated and tested to determine the mechanical. Experiments were conducted using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array considering the two design parameters viz. weight fraction of the pine apple leaf fiber and carbon powder as filler. The Experimental results were analyzed using Taguchi optimization method. Signal-to- noise (S/N) ratio, Regression analysis and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were carried out to obtain the significant values of tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength.
