Abstract
Composites are essential in contemporary engineering and production, providing a flexible and effective solution for various applications that demand lightweight materials with exceptional performance. Natural composites provide adaptable and eco-friendly solutions for various sectors and applications, promoting environmental sustainability and the preservation of resources. Further advancements in research and development in this discipline are anticipated to enhance the utilization of natural composites across several industries. For this investigation, two types of composite materials are created: synthetic composites and Hybrid composites. The materials picked for the fabrication of synthetic composite were basalt, coconut coir and glass fibre. For the hybrid composite, basalt, coconut coir, and kenaf fibre were chosen. The mechanical properties of the composite materials were evaluated by analyzing the data obtained from several tests, including tensile, compression, flexural, and impact tests. From the test results, the synthetic composite exhibited a 21% increase in tensile strength, 44% increase in compression load, 137% increase in flexural strength and 83% increase in impact strength over the hybrid composites.
