Abstract

The natural fibers are the alternative to glass and other human-made fibers, because of their low cost and readily available from natural resources and acts as a reinforcing material for the polymer composites. Jute is the most widely used natural fibers among the various fibers due to its superior characteristics. Composite materials are made with different materials that are physically and chemically different alienated by interfaces. In this work, epoxy and polyester hybrid composites reinforced with jute and glass fiber were fabricated by hydraulic press method and their tensile and impact properties were compared. The mechanical properties of jute/glass hybrid composites with different layers such as tensile strength, percentage of elongation and impact strength were evaluated using ASTM specifications. Tensile and Charpy impact test results indicated that jute/glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites have shown optimum properties than polyester composites.
