The natural jute fiber existed on the earth surface at free of cost. These jute fibers over the hundreds of year have been used in applications of making beds, ropes, and artificial bags. For current demands, the hybrid materials are essential to multiple processing properties for structural aspects and product design. In this paper, the hand layup techniques were used by LY556 epoxy resin and LY591 hardener to develop the S-glass fiber/epoxy resin (50%) varying 15%, 20% and 25% of jute fiber. The experimental investigation of hybrid polymer composites were determined as per ASTM standards. This result indicates that composition of 25% of jute fiber has better strength compared to S-glass fiber/epoxy resin as base matrix phase.
