The natural fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composites can be used both in industrial applications and in research field. These polymer matrix composites are low cost, renewable and completely or partially recyclable. In this study, hand layup method has been used with the combinations of coir, sisal fibre and sugarcane skin to fabricate composite specimens for tension, compression and flexural strength tests. From the test results, the sisal fibre composites have shown the promising tensile and compressive strengths. Further, it is also shown that the sugarcane fibre has good flexural strength compared to sisal and coir fibre reinforced polymer composite specimens.
