In recent times, polymer composites have played an epochal role in transforming material science. Some of their properties such as toughness, strength, flexibility and rigidity have helped them supplant conventional materials such as iron, steel, and aluminium on several occasions. Apart from this, they are light in weight and more cost-efficient, which make them a viable alternative. They have found their application in several fields such as automobile industry, aerospace industry, construction and pipeline industry. Owing to its excellent impact strength, tensile and hardness, natural fibres serve as an excellent replacement. Natural fibres are an environmental friendly, biodegradable and are readily available. The present investigation uses a new fibre for manufacturing the eco-friendly composite material. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, shear stress, flexural rigidity, impact strength and hardness of a coconut fibre-reinforced polymer composite material are evaluated as per respective ASTM standards. A surface analysis of the material using a scanning electron microscope is also performed. The results are categorized and tabulated accordingly. The values obtained appear to fall in line with the experimental data and hence can be espoused as an alternative material especially in the automotive sector.

近年来，聚合物复合材料在转变材料科学方面发挥了划时代的作用。它们的一些特性（例如韧性，强度，柔韧性和刚度）已帮助它们多次替代了传统材料，例如铁，钢和铝。除此之外，它们重量轻且更具成本效益，这使其成为可行的替代方案。他们已经在汽车工业，航空航天工业，建筑和管道工业等多个领域找到了应用。由于其出色的冲击强度，拉伸强度和硬度，天然纤维可作为出色的替代品。天然纤维是环境友好的，可生物降解的并且容易获得。本研究使用一种新型纤维来制造环保复合材料。根据各自的ASTM标准评估椰子纤维增强聚合物复合材料的机械性能，例如拉伸强度，剪切应力，弯曲刚度，冲击强度和硬度。还使用扫描电子显微镜对材料进行了表面分析。将结果分类并相应地制成表格。所获得的值似乎与实验数据一致，因此可以作为一种替代材料，特别是在汽车领域。
