The variations of impact strength and compressive strength of unsaturated polyester based sisal/glass hybrid composites with fiber loading have been studied. The impact strength of these hybrid composites has been found to be higher than that of the matrix, whereas a marginal decrease was observed in the compressive strength of the hybrid composites over that of the matrix. The effects of NaOH treatment and trimethoxy silane (coupling agent) treatment on the impact and compressive properties of these sisal/glass hybrid composites have also been studied. No significant improvement in impact strength of the sisal/glass hybrid composites has been observed by these treatments, whereas a marginal increase in compressive strength of these hybrid composites has been observed.
