Abstract: Areca nut fibers and Areca nut fiber with Glass fibers are reinforced with epoxy matrix and composites have been developed by hand lay-up technique. The effect of areca nut and Glass fibers on mechanical properties of epoxy composites was studied. The mechanical properties include tensile and flexural properties as per ASTM standard Procedures. The analysis continued to evolve a comparative study of pure Areca nut fiber and hybrid Areca nut & Glass composites. The results revealed that incorporation of glass fiber in Areca nut fiber improved the mechanical properties of the composite in a greater extent.
