Abstract: The modern world can’t be possible without any kind of improvement in the development of tailor made materials. Numerous researches are carried especially on synthesize of polymer based composite materials to attain the superior mechanical properties. Fibre Reinforced Plastics, Thermo & Thermoset Plastics are replaced with natural fibre reinforced composite. The research focus on enhancement of properties like high strength to weight ratio, non-toxic, dimensional stability, ease of availability, decomposable and affordability. Present researchers have extended their idea in new product design using natural fibres that is stronger as well as affordable which will be utilized to produce extreme applications in automotive fields. The current experimentation examines the mechanical performance of short fibre-parthenium strengthened epoxy composites. Parthenium fibres introduced as a reinforcement in polymer matrix. The mechanical properties of the composite are tested with ASTM D 638 standard. From the experimentation the test results are represented by plot the graph and observe the properties and their uses in different mechanical application.
