Unsaturated polyester based woven jute/glass and woven jute/silk fibre hybrid composites were prepared by hand layup method. Mechanical properties like tensile and flexural properties were studied for these hybrid composites. Tensile and flexural properties were also studied for woven jute, woven silk fibre composites and also for matrix. The results of jute/glass and jute/silk composites were compared with the results of jute/silk hybrid composites. From the results, it was observed that jute/glass hybrid composites showed better properties than jute/silk fibre reinforced hybrid composites. It was also observed that jute fibre properties were improved by adding glass and silk fibre in hybrid composites. Mechanical tests were carried out by using ASTM methods.
