Popis: The aim of the present work is to synthesis and evaluates the mechanical behaviour of natural fiber reinforced vinylester hybrid composite using the banana and jute fibers with different stacking sequences. The natural fibres were chemically treated with 10% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The natural hybrid composite was fabricated by a vacuum infusion process. The mechanical behaviour was evaluated by tensile test, flexural test and impact test. The structural morphologies were evaluated by scanning electron microscope. The experimental results were revealed that the stacking sequences of natural fibers were influences the mechanical properties of natural hybrid composites. The Jute fiber reinforced composites were provided more tensile strength compared the banana fiber. The mechanical strength of banana higher than the jute fiber reinforced natural composites.
