Abstract
Composite materials are formed by reinforcing two or more materials of varying properties. Our paper deals with the analysis of hybrid composite materials. Hybridization is a process of incorporating synthetic fibers with that of natural and metallic fibers in order to yield better strength, stiffness, high strength to weight ratio and other mechanical properties. This paper concerns with the development of new hybrid composite materials using Wood Powder, Groundnut Husk and Cashew nut Husk. Based on the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the selected materials the required resins, catalysts and other accelerators are chosen and fabricated accordingly. The paper will present the Mechanical properties of the above mentioned eco-friendly and bio-degradable composites and the best possible applications of this composite materials.
