Abstract
Abstract Natural fiber composites (NFC) have become very popular in the structural applications due to their bio-degradability and ease of availability. The major limitation with NFCs for the industrial applications is the poor strength to weight ratio and stiffness to weight ratio compared to the polymer matrix composites. In this paper an attempt is made to improve the mechanical performance of the NFC through hybridization. Jute and Banana fibers are amalgamated with epoxy matrix at different volume fractions and Hybrid natural fiber composite (HNFC) is prepared and characterized for tensile, flexural and hardness behavior. The results proven that the HNFC offered superior performance than pure Jute and Pure banana fiber composite.
