ABSTRACT
The trend of years has focused the fiber reinforced polymers have removed the
conventional and metal materials in the modern engineering. This is more important
because of the merits of fiber reinforced polymers over the outcomes materials. Its
informly and evaluated in FRPC are light, stiff and allow both large and minimum scale
production at minimum cost and however, the strength of these composites are maximum
it’s not founded. The performance of the mechanical properties of the expisting FP
composites , a minimul amount of Nano carbon powder have been intraduced in the
different weight ratios.In this experimental study of nano carbon powder with three
different natural fibers of water hyacinth,areca nut and hen feather (0 ,1,2,3,4,5,6 weight
% ) Polylactic acid ( Bal weight %) are mixed together and 3 specimens of NCFRP
composites were fabricated by using polymer compression injection molding machine.
After the fabrication process and specimens to take molding to preapred ASTM standards
to evaluted the hardness test and impact strength.

1. INTRODUCTION
Two or more dissimilar polymer composite materials unite together to form a better and sole
material. High-temperature creep, impact damage, chemical attack and water absorption are
