【 摘 要 】

The objective of this study is to produce hemp and glass fiber incorporated composites with epoxy resin polymer matrix and to determine the mechanical strengths like, impact strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the different samples. The hemp and glass fibres reinforced composite material components and products plays a major role in the field of automobile and construction sectors. By using hand layup process the different composite samples are fabricated as per the ASTM standards and the specimens were tested with aid of UTM tensile testing machine and charpy impact energy testing machine. The experimental reading of tested samples indicates that the untreated hemp and glass fibres composite exhibit the excellent tensile and flexural strengths. From the tested samples the SEM analysis was carried out to study the morphological properties.
