Abstract

The hybrid composite can be set up by utilizing at least two fiber fortifications in the composite. Here the hybrid composite was set up by utilizing banana/glass fiber. In addition, fiber volume loading was 40%. The tensile test and flexural test were preceded according to ASTM D3039 and ASTM D790 separately. The results show that 5% treated fiber shows higher properties than non-treated fiber composite. NaOH treated banana fiber with glass fiber composite shows higher quality as compared with non-treated in unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced composite.
