The material field and its engineering, is a greater emerging scope over the invention of composite materials. Good strength and low cost remains the winning combination that propels composite materials into new awareness. To replace conventional materials in aerospace, automotive, highly stressed parts, mobile industry equipment and hydraulic unit’s applications. The present work is carried out on the development of polymer bio-composites. The powdered coconut shell and Rice husk are used as a filler material with matrix epoxy resin of grade HSC 7600 and Hardener of grade HSC 8210 to form hybrid composite specimens. The fabricated composites were tested as per ASTM standards to evaluate mechanical properties such as tensile strength, and impact strength and moisture test are evaluated. The result of tests how that hybrid composite has far better properties than single fiber glass reinforced composite under mechanical loads. However it is found that incorporation of Resin and coconut shell and rice husk in ratio 70:15:15 have far better properties than other two ratios.

epoxy resin of grade HSC 7600; coconut shell; Rice husk; tensile strength; impact strength.
