To enhance the properties of composites composed of steel, ceramic, or polymeric elements, they can be reinforced with fibers, particles, or whiskers that serve the same purpose. Natural reinforcement has been proven to be the most efficient usage of the minimal quantity of effort required in PMC, which is required in lightweight applications. The presence and influence of the unidirectional fiber in the composites manufactured with an epoxy matrix have been the subject of a limited number of research that is being carried out. The purpose of this research is to create, evaluate, and assess a polymer compound composed of both natural and synthetic elements in various proportions by hand layup process. The hand-laying process is used to process the materials and several mechanical parameters are being evaluated to establish the fabric's capacity under various loads and operating situations. A blend of glass fibers, jute, and basalt fibers combination is selected for the polymer preparation.
