Environmental awareness today motivates the
researchers, worldwide on the studies of natural fiber
reinforced polymer composite and cost effective option
to synthetic fiber reinforced composites. In the present
work different natural fiber based polymer matrix
composites are prepared by using natural fibers Coir,
Saw Dust, Rice husk and their tensile properties are
studied. Usual hand- lay-up technique has been
adopted for manufacturing the composite. To have a
good compatibility between the fiber and matrix,
chemical modification of fibers has been carried out.
The study confirms that the tensile strength of the
composites are varies with the volume fraction of the
fibers
