Abstract

Composites consist of two different materials, one is base matrix material and another one is reinforcement material. Composites give unique properties than individual matrix material. Composites are gaining the demands in various applications because of its distinct properties such as higher tensile strength, higher fatigue strength, better impact strength, good flexural strength and better strength to weight ratio. In present paper a review is carried out on identifying the effect on mechanical properties of hybrid fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. Present study focus on the combination of the natural/synthetic fibre mixed with each other. Hybrid polymer matrix composites show better mechanical properties than single fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. Due to its good properties and cost effective nature hybrid polymer matrix composite are used in automotive industry, biomedical industry, air craft and aerospace industry, house hold applications etc.
