      abstract = {Natural fibers have been integral to human civilization since its earliest days. With growing customer demand for sustainable products and advancements in technology, the use of natural fibers has gained significant importance across industries like aerospace, automotive, and marine. The aim of the project is to study the fabrication of the composite was carried out using epoxy resin as the matrix and the Kenaf Fiber(22%)+Amla Powder(5%), Curaua Fiber(18%)+Amla Powder(5%), Lotus Fiber(25%)+Amla Powder(5%),Kenaf Fiber(11%)+Curaua Fiber(9%)+ Amla Powder(5%), Curaua Fiber(7%)+Lotus Fiber(15%)+Amla Powder(5%),Kenaf Fiber (13%)+Lotus Fiber(10%)+Amla Powder(5%), Curaua Fiber(7%)+Kenaf Fiber(7%)+Lotus Fiber(6%)+Amla Powder(5%) as reinforcement. In accordance with the ASTM guidelines followed for the a forementioned testing, the plates were labelled and divided into several specimen sizes. Tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties such as Tensile, Hardness, Impact, and Flexural strength. The results were studied and compared with the seven composites materials and its process that the material developed can be used in structural applications with strong dependence on its mechanical properties.},
