ABSTRACT: Hybrid materials of any class are essential for current demands. This paper deals with the hybrid
effect of composites made of jute/E-Glass fibers which are fabricated by hand layup method using
LY556 Epoxy resin and HY951 hardener. The properties of this hybrid composite are determined
by testing like tensile, flexural, impact, and inter laminar shear strength which are evaluated experimentally
according to ASTM standards. The result of the test shows that hybrid composite of
jute/ E-glass fiber has far better properties than that of jute fiber composite. However, it is found
that the hybrid composite has better strength as compared to jute fiber composite fabricated separately
with glass fiber.
