Abstract

This article aims at development of a new hybrid composite made of jute& carbon- fibre reinforced epoxy composite and discusses its superiority or inferiority in comparison to jute-epoxy and carbon-epoxy composites so that the extent of utility of the newly developed composite could be established. Properties considered for characterization of composite are tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact strength. Hand layup technique is employed for the preparation of composite and the total fibre content considered is 45%.It can be concluded that the new composite developed i.e. jute &carbon-epoxy hybrid composite can replace carbon-epoxy composite without much loss of tensile strength, flexural strength, and flexural modulus and with improved ductility and impact strength.
