Natural fiber-reinforced polymeric composites are gaining significant attention in engineering applications. The present investigation is an attempt to assess the hybridization effects of different laminate stacking sequence involving jute/kenaf/E-Glass woven fabric through study of physical and mechanical properties of nine different resulting composites. The composite laminates were fabricated using vacuum bagging method. The assessment of mechanical properties and study of fractured surfaces indicate significant improvement in tensile and flexural properties of jute/kenaf fabrics reinforced epoxy composites.
