This work determines the effect of combining two reinforcement phase materials, with extreme mechanical properties, on volume shrinkage of hybrid epoxy based composites. The strenghtening material used for the research was material recycled due to the developing shipbuilding industry, which seeks to search for modern ways of waste management, arising during the dismantling of small vessels. The research material was created as a result of gravity casting into a semi-open form of epoxy resin matrix and reinforcement of fiber glass (in mass fraction of 1%), as well as polyurethane foam (in the proportion of 1% to 10% by mass).
