Abstract
This paper present the effect of synthetic fibres on the tensile properties of Napier fibres reinforced epoxy composites. The composites were fabricated using the vacuum infusion method, which the Napier grass fibre placed between the synthetic fibres, then mixed the epoxy resin with a ratio of fibres and epoxy was 70:30. There were four different types of composite samples were fabricated based on various volume fractions. The samples were manufactured using vacuum infusion process. The composites are tested using a universal testing machine according with ASTM standard D638. The tensile strength of the hybrid synthetic/Napier fibre reinforced epoxy composites increased as the content of the synthetic fibre content increased. The tensile properties of the hybrid carbon/Napier reinforced epoxy composites were observed higher than the hybrid glass/Napier reinforced epoxy composites.
