Popis: Performance of injection moulded short wollastonite fibre and chopped glass fibre reinforced hybrid epoxy composites was studied. The results showed that hybridisation of glass fibre and wollastonitewas in congruence to epoxy glass fibre composite system. Effect of fibre length, fibre orientation in matrix and analysis and fracture surface was undertaken. The mechanical properties of injection moulded, chopped glass fibre/wollastonite/epoxy hybrid composites were investigated by considering the effect of hybridisation by these two fillers. It was observed that the tensile, flexural, and impact properties of the filled epoxy were higher than those of unfilled epoxy. The effect of filler on epoxy matrix subjected to the tensile strength and modulus was studied and compared with the rule of mixture. The actual results are marginally low as compared with the values obtained by the rule of hybrid mixtures (RoHM).
