Natural fibers (Sisal, Jute, Banana, Coir) in combination with Epoxy resin has proved to be excellent for making cost effective composite materials. To have the genuine results , the retting process of each fiber has been done to obtain the pure form of fibers. A bunch of fibers are forcibly extruded through the tube and obtained a uniform diameter using pultrusion process. Each fiber is sorted to have equal length and assembled properly. They are prepared using pultrusion method. The resin used in the preparation of composites was epoxy in combination with hardener. Fibers were used as reinforcement and epoxy resin is used as matrix in the fabrication process. Fibers and epoxy were hybridized at percentage of 70% and 30%. Samples prepared were tested to evaluate its properties, such as tensile strength, compressive strength, impact strength and hardness test. Sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composite exhibited better mechanical properties among the five types of fiber composite specimens.

Sisal fiber, banana fiber, jute fiber, coir, pultrusion process.
