Natural fiber composites have drawn a lot of interest because of its costeffectiveness, lightweight nature, and environmental advantages.The mechanical characteristics of epoxy composites reinforced with kenaf, hemp, and E-glass fibers are examined in this work. Comparing these composites' tensile, flexural, and impact strengths is the main goal in order to assess their potential for structural uses. The hand lay-up method was used to produce the composites, and ASTMcompliant mechanical testing was then conducted.According to the findings, composites reinforced with Eglass fiber have the best mechanical strength, followed by those made of hemp and kenaf. In contrast to synthetic alternatives, the natural fiber composites (hemp and kenaf) showed improved sustainability and a good strength-to-weight ratio. Keywords: mechanical characteristics, epoxy composites, kenaf, hemp, eglass, and natural fibers.While Eglass continues to be stronger, this study shows that kenaf and hemp fibers have the potential to be good substitutes for synthetic reinforcements in lightweight applications. The results aid in the creation of environmentay friendly composite materials for use in engineering.
