Title: PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS OF NANO PARTICLE COATED HYBRID FIBER BASED COMPOSITES
Abstract: 
An overview of the properties of various natural and synthetic fibre in the design of pure natural is composites is discussed.

The combination of both natural or synthetic fibre based hybrid composites , bio based resins, various fabrication techniques, chemical and mechanical properties of fibres, the effect of chemical treatment and the influence of nano particles on the composite materials have been discussed Natural Fibers are becoming more popular and attractive to researchers, with satisfactory results, due to their availability, ease of availability, ease of fabrication, cost effectiveness, Biodegradable nature and being environment friendly Hybrid composites made up of two different natural fibres under the same matrix material are more popular than a combination of natural and synthetic Recent studies relevant to natural fibre hybrid composites have stated that, due to their biodegradability and the strength of individual fibres causing an impact on mechanical properties, flame retardants and moisture absorption, natural fibres need an additional treatment like chemical treatment for the fibres to overcome those drawbacks and to enhance their better properties The result of chemical treatment on composite material properties such as thermal, mechanical and moisture properties was studied Researchers found that the positive influence on the overall strength by placing the filler materials (Nanoparticles) in the composite materials Hybrid composites are one of the fields in Polymer Science that are attracting consideration for various light weight applications in a wide range of industries such as automobile, construction, shipping, aviation, sports equipment, electr8, hardware and biomedical sectors.
