Abstract

In this research study, three types of composite samples are made. Hemp-Glass Fiber (C1), Flax-
Glass Fiber (C2), and Hemp-Flax-Glass Fiber Hybrid Composite (C3). For proper fibre-to-fiber
adhesion and bonding, a 10:1 mixture of glue (LY556) and brace (HY951) was used. Tensile, flexural,
impact, double shear, and hardness research is conducted among all the specimen samples.
According to ASTM standards, the comparison is made among C1, C2 and C2 respectively; the
results revealed that the category C3 Hybrid Composite is attained with good mechanical
characteristics. The microscopic evidences of tested sample fibers in composites are studied using a
scanning electron microscope revealed the comprehensible results. In this research, reinforcement is
achieved with perfect bonding by using hemp and flax added to plain-woven glass strands. The twain
fibers seen in nature have high-strength due to their high cellulose content. Fabrications of
composites with entirely different fibre orientations, as well as estimate of composite mechanical
properties, have been undertaken for this reason.
