256-261Natural fiber reinforced hybrid composite is developed to meet the environment friendly and sustainable
demand of industry. Jute and sisal fibers are mixed in different composition to produce Jute-Sisal-Epoxy hybrid
composites using hand layup methods. Hybrid composites are developed by mixing 15% of fiber fraction by weight
with 85% epoxy resin and hardener. Both are mixed respectively in the ratio of 70 to 30. Tensile test and
moisture absorption test have been carried out according to ASTM standard to determine the most appropriate
fiber combination. It has been observed that moisture gain was highest in 100% sisal fiber composite and decreases
gradually with raise in the percentage of jute fiber. However, tensile strength was highest for sisal fiber composite as
compared to jute fiber
