摘要: Hybrid materials of any kind are the keynote for today’s demands. This paper deals with one such hybrid composite made natural fibres namely, banana and flax fibres. The structural build-up is that layer fibre sandwiched between two layers by hand layup method a volume fraction 40% using Epoxy resin HY951 hardener. Glass reinforcement polymer (GFRP) used lamination on both sides. also increases overall mechanical properties along better surface properties. this determined testing its tensile, impact, flexural loads Universal machine. Thermal analysed composites GFRP have thermal stability flame resistance over flax, single composites. Morphological analysis done Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). result test shows has far than glass reinforced under impact loads. However it found strength as compared to
