Abstract :Fiber-reinforced composite materials are used in various applications in aviation, maritime, sport, automotive, and defense industry due to their several advantages. Beside this, they have some disadvantages. The behavior of hybrid composites is a weighed sum of the individual components in which there is a more favorable balance between the inherent advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this study is to develop of the carbon-glass fabric reinforced polyester hybrid composites. PA66 nonwoven fabrics were also incorporated within the composite laminates to modify interlaminar region. The results show the addition of the PA66 nonwoven fabrics affects the mechanical properties in hybrid composite.
