The fiber reinforced polymer composites are the most used accepted materials; they are useful in the present days as an alternative to the metals. Because of their low cost and high specific strength, low weight and less concerned to the environment, they became more attracted globally. The natural fibers such as Agave Americana with Silk fiber hybrid composites are used in the proportion of 1:1 has been incorporated with unsaturated polyester resin. The effect of fiber at (0, 15, 25, 35 and 45 wt. %) samples are studied. In the project work a hand lay-up method were utilized for preparing the composites. Agave Americana are treat with NaOH fallowed by Hcl acid. And the consequences of alkali behavior on the tensile and compressive properties are going to be studied. Major development of tensile and compressive strengths of the Agave/silk hybrid composites have been observed for various treatments.
