The prediction of elastic modulus of the Kevlar/Glass hybrid composites had been investigated through Rule of hybrid mixtures (RoHM) equation. Hybrid composition were studied with different fiber percentage and the relative glass fiber contents were varied up to 100 %. The experimental and predicted values were evaluated and found excellent agreement with each other.
