Summary:A review on the mechanical and tribological characterization of hybrid fibers reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials is presented in this article. Fiber reinforced polymer composites are used in aircraft, boats, ships, helicopters, sporting equipments, chemical processing instruments and automobiles. Using more than one fibers in a single polymer matrix gives the more improvements than single fiber polymer composites. Hybridization (A mixture of fibers, during a process known as hybridization, so as to take advantage of the two fibers) in the field of FRPs can enhance the mechanical characteristics of particular fibre-reinforced polymer composite. By the addition of filler to the composite materials will further increase the performance of composites. This revise shows that tribological and mechanical characteristics of FRP composite improves because of inclusion of comparably high elongation fibers (Glass and basalt).Now a day’s hybrid composites are used in high end applications
