The present research is conducted on GFRP (Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic) composite which is fiberglass reinforced with epoxy matrix and find its mechanical properties that can be compared with other hybrid composite which include plain weave copper strips mesh in between the layers of fiberglass in GFRP composite. Both type of composites are made using hand layup technique i.e., placing of chopped fiberglass sheet and then epoxy resin layer by layer, after filling of epoxy and fiberglass at 20% fiber loading which is measured by digital scale, then a pressure is also applied on this sandwich. After 24 hours it is ready to be demolded and after 48 hrs. samples was cuts as per ASTM standards then testing was done on both GFRP and Hybrid composites to find their Mechanical & Physical Properties. Results shows improvement as we introduce plain weave copper strips mesh in between the GFRP laminate to make it hybrid.

In this paper, mechanical properties of bamboo strip and bamboo strip-glass fiber reinforced hybrid composite were investigated. Composites were manufactured by using hand lay-up technique and bamboo strips were made from locally available bamboo. Four layers of bamboo strip composite were manufactured and in case of hybrid composite, two layers of glass fiber one at the top and the other at the bottom were used with the aim was to observe the effect of adding glass fiber layer on the mechanical properties of bamboo strip composite. Tensile and flexural properties were studied and it was found that adding the glass fiber layer doesn’t have any significant effect on tensile properties but flexural strength and modulus have increased by 22.49 % and 15.02 % respectively.

Banana stems are very cheap and abundant in nature which can be used to extract fiber. In this paper, banana fiber is used as a reinforcement and epoxy as a matrix to manufacture banana fiber-reinforced epoxy composite. Glass fiber mat, and roving are also used as reinforcement along with banana fiber to manufacture hybrid composites. The objective of this paper is to compare the mechanical properties of hybrid composites with that of pure banana fiber-reinforced composites. The hand lay-up method is used to manufacture all the composites, and tensile and flexural properties are investigated according to the corresponding ASTM standard. It is found that the tensile and flexural strength of banana and glass fiber roving hybrid composites are much higher compared to pure banana fiber-reinforced epoxy composites which make this hybrid composite suitable for low strength application.
