Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is one of the advanced technologies developed in the engineering material industry. These FRP are widely used in material industries to produce several products such as interior parts of car, aerospace, marine and construction industries. The hybrid composite is defined as the reinforcements which have two or more materials to bond with the matrix. This composite is offering better mechanical properties than the common composites. Currently, studies on POM/carbon fiber composite and POM/glass fiber composite have been done. However, there is limited research on POM/carbon fiber/glass fiber hybrid composite. Potentially, this hybrid composite can be used in high performance car and can replace carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)
