The hybrid reinforcement effect of surface‐treated UHMWPE fiber and SiO 2 on the mechanical properties of PMMA matrix composites was investigated. When UHMWPE fiber is introduced, the tensile strength of UHMWPE fiber‐reinforced composites sharply increases. The flexural modulus was enhanced with an increase in filler loading. Flexural modulus of the treated UHMWPE/SiO 2 /PMMA composites was higher than that of the UHMWPE/PMMA and UHMWPE/SiO 2 /PMMA composites. The outcome of the better interfacial bonding between the filler and the matrix is reflected in the improvement of the mechanical properties of the treated UHMWPE/SiO 2 /PMMA composites.
