The need for bio degradable material in all the fields including automobile and mechanical field is growing due to the awareness and polution and enviromenat safety norms. To satisfy this need needs, alternative natural product with similar kind of properties has to be identify . Where these natural products attribute can be enhanced using some processing techniques and by adding suitable chemicals. Composite materials are the one which is ruling our world and the need for them is marginally high and we need to find new enhanced matrices which have much more good qualities than the old one and find the alternate for them in their existence. The hybrid composite manufacturing has been wide range of investigations. The composites have superior properties like light weight, low density, stiffness, and better mechanical properties. The present work aims on mechanical and thermal behaviours of GKG, GAG, and KGA fibre reinforced epoxy composites. Hand layup method used for fabricate hybrid composite laminates. The thermogravimetric analysis, heat distortion temperature test are carried out to find its thermal stability. For testing and analysis, the specimens are cut as per ASTM standards.
