Composites are widely used in engineering applications because of their light weight and high strength. Studied the mechanical properties of hybrid composites has different stacking sequences of banana and hemp fiber. Composite material made with chemically treated fiber was compared with its counterpart made of untreated fiber. It was noted that the hybrid composite materials having treated fibers of BHHHB composite developed up to 1.5 times greater than tensile, flexural and impact strengths compared to its counterparts. Scanning Electron Microscope images are interpreted with the fractured surfaces of the hybrid composite materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
