Popis:	The aim of this paper is to investigate chemical modification and mechanical characterization of okra fiber reinforced with epoxy LY556 as matrix material using hand layup technique. Composites are fabricated with different wt% of fibers as reinforcement and pre-calculated weight of the resin. Tensile flexural and impact test specimen are prepared according to ASTM standards. Tensile testing has been carried out on 5-ton universal testing machine. Three-point bend test has been adopted for flexural strength estimation. Impact strength has been estimated through Izod test setup. The results are compared with treated and untreated fiber-reinforced composites, and treated fiber composite exhibits good mechanical properties.
