Natural fibers give strength to polymer composite for making very low cost materials and are very good market now a days. Therefore the researcher’s main attention is to apply appropriate technology by utilizing these natural fibers as efficient and economically in order to produce very good quality fiber reinforced polymer composites for different engineering applications. In our research work, the experiments like tensile, flexural and impact tests were carried out for different natural fibers like, woven Jute, glass and flax hybrid-reinforced epoxy composites with filler of barium sulphate and without filler composite. Therefore the best, cheap and efficient process called hand layup technique was applied to prepare composite material. The surface morphology of the composites was examined through scanning electron microscope, due to the low density and high specific properties of glass, flax fiber composites, it offer cost savings when compared with synthetic fibers. Therefore this king of composite materials can be used in automobile industry. Fro the study, the hybrid composites with barium sulphate filler as composite was used by us to provide good and improved mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strength. And also the good reduced wear property analyzed on filler composite.
