In this present work, the compression and impact behaviour of graphene reinforced with hemp fiber composites were investigated. Two different laminates of hemp fiber with graphene is prepared. The fiber is blended with epoxy resin of grade LY556 along with hardener HY 951 made through hand layup method for laminate formation with 2% graphene nano platelets. Results indicate that mechanical properties were enhanced due to the addition of graphene in natural composites. This environmentally friendly nano composite can be used for various commercial applications with partial load acting conditions.
