The present work is synthesizing four different compositions of hybrid composites made of E-Glass fibre and Silk fibre reinforced with epoxy resin. The specimens were fabricated by hand layup technique investigated the best hybridization effect of E-Glass fibre and Silk fibre on the mechanical properties. Mechanical tests (Tensile, Flexural and Interlaminar Shear Strength) were carried out with ASTM standards, 15% of Silk fibre hybridization shows the optimum results than the other three composites.
