Abstract

Abstract: Considering the varied applications of composites in present world, it is seen a rapid growth in the development of hybrid polymer based composites. Polymer based composites are in demand because they shows desirable and favorable properties such as high weight to volume ratio, low density, high modulus, high strength, ease of manufacturing, high mechanical, thermal and optical properties, flexibility and elasticity, impact resistant shock absorbing, environmentally inert many a times. Neat Polymer properties can be improved by the introduction of reinforcing phase into it. This paper focuses on the hybrid polymer composites studies, its constituents, its preparation and different kinds of testing done on them to check their mechanical, thermal properties. Addition of two or more materials into the matrix can enhance more prominently the properties of the polymer. Also the study of polyurethane polymer which can be used as a matrix phase, its properties and types.
