Abstract: Fibre composites are nowadays being used in various engineering applications to increase the strength and optimize the weight and the cost of the product .The use of composite material field is increasing gradually in Engineering .Because of the expanding natural concerns bio composites produced out of the natural fibre and resin is one of the late advancement in business and constituent the present extent of natural work. In our project an investigation will be carried out to make better utilization of banana fibre for making value added products. A Specimen is fabricated by hybridisation of Natural fibres (Banana Fibre and Jute Fibre) and epoxy resin. Another Specimen is fabricated by hybridisation of Fibre (Banana Fibre, Jute Fibre, and Carbon Fibre) and epoxy Resin. Experiments are carried out as per American Standard of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards to find the mechanical Properties of both specimens. The accessibility of characteristic fibre and simplicity of assembling have enticed scientists worldwide to attempt by regional standards accessible inexpensive fibre and to learning their achievability of fortification determination and to what degree they fulfil the obliged particular of great strengthened polymer composite aimed at structural requisition. The effect of fibre loading and length on mechanical properties like tensile strength and flexural strength of composites is studied.
