Abstract: The composite manufacturing has been a wide area of research and it is the preferred choice due to its superior properties like low density, stiffness, light weight and possesses better mechanical properties. This has found its wide applications in aerospace, automotive, marine and sporting industries. In this work, eco-friendly natural fiber composites are manufactured using jute and sisal fiber along with epoxy. Different fiber lengths were chosen such as (2.5cm, 2.0cm, 1.5cm, 1.0cm) and are manufactured by hand layup system. Different mechanical properties such as (tensile, Water absorption and impact energy) of the jute and sisal fiber composites are quantified. In this research work sisal fiber based composite exhibits better results in tensile and impact energy test as compared to jute fiber based composites.
