Abstract

Abstract: Commonly Materials are designed t work with ambient conditions. Some special requirements, the materials may be designed to with the constraints of work at moisture, chemical environment, elevated temperature, high pressure without changing its natural properties of mechanical as well as physical. The material used for aesthetic decoration applications. Light weight low strength applications are very wide. This investigation focuses the natural fiber hybrid with artificial fiber based hybrid composite preparation. The banana fiber is used to prepare the composite with glass fiber. The banana fiber is here treated with specific concentration of White caustic in the distilled water. The composites synthesized with treated and untreated banana fibers. The alternate fashion of horizontal and vertical is followed for fibers' orientation. The bio epoxy is employed as matrix material with mix of hardener. The prepared composite are characterized by water absorbability and also characterized by tensile properties, flexural properties and shock absorption capacities in wet condition.
