Abstract
This study explores the fabrication and testing of hybrid composites made from Boron,Silicon Carbide,Polyster Fibers reinforced with Graphite powder and epoxy resin. Using a layering technique, the composites were evaluated for strength, durability, and suitability in engineering applications. Results showed that Graphite Powder enhanced stiffness and hardness, while hybrid fiber composites outperformed single-fiber ones due to better load sharing and fiber–matrix bonding. The Boron+SiC+Polyster Fibers+Graphite Powder hybrid composite exhibited the best mechanical performance when comparing with other results.
