Abstract: From the last three decade the use of composite material, plastic and ceramics are replaces the other material. The application of the composite material grown steadily and which occupied the new market. In our daily life use of the composite material in different field because of their combinational properties which include high resistance to thermal expansion. The main reason for using the composite is to reduce the weight. The environmental issues have recently generated considerable interest in development of recyclable and biodegradable composite materials. Therefore, research in the field of using Natural fibers has attracted much attention in the material science and engineering discipline. Natural fiber is certainly a renewable resource that can be grown and made within a short period of time. In present investigation hybrid composite is developed using Hemp/E-glass as reinforcing material and Epoxy as a matrix material. To sustain the environmental condition and water absorption, E-glass fiber is used. The fabrication is done using hand lay-up technique. The developed hybrid composite will be subjected to different kind of test to determine mechanical properties. The result shows that the hybrid composite with a composition of 40% HF and 30% GF has good tensile property to other hybrid composite at 0° fiber orientation. For 30° fiber orientation hybrid composite with a composition of 50% HF and 20% GF has good flexural & impact property to other hybrid composite.
