Abstract

In the course of the last two to three decades, composite materials have been utilized in various engineering fields. Composite materials possess high specific strength, corrosion-resistant property and low weight. Because of these facts, composites are becoming popular among scientists and researchers. In recent times, researchers working on variety of natural fibers to be used as reinforcing materials for composites instead of using carbon fiber, glass fiber and other man-made fibers. In the present work, basalt fiber and glass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were fabricated by hand layup method. Tensile, flexural and impact tests were carried out on prepared hybrid composites.
