The present work compares the tensile properties of polyester and epoxy matrix composites reinforced with hemp fibers. Polyester and epoxy reinforced with different volume fractions of hemp fibers up to 30% were prepared according to ASTM D-638-14 and tensile tested. The epoxy matrix composites reinforced with 30% of fibers presented tensile strength of 53 MPa, while those of polyester matrix, 25 MPa. The elastic modulus of the epoxy matrix composites was 1.75 GPa and that of the polyester matrix 4.05 GPa. The tests showed that the resistance of the epoxy composites reinforced with hemp fiber is superior to those of polyester matrix. However, the stiffness of the polyester/hemp fiber composites is higher than the epoxy/hemp fiber ones.

An experimental was investigated the condition of reinforcement of hemp fiber and hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites with carbon nanotubes (CNTs).The CNTs were mixed with several liquid such as ethanol, latex, water glue and epoxy resin. These mixtures were added to hemp fiber and prepared the hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites. The mechanical properties of both fiber and composite samples were measured. It was found that the mixture of epoxy resin and CNTs with CNTs ratio of 20 vol% in hemp fiber showed the highest tensile strength of 25.43 N. and the same mixture in hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites showed the highest tensile strength of 31.82 MPa and elongation of 7.40 %.
