        abstract = {This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the physical, mechanical, thermo-mechanical, and morphological properties of hybrid acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites reinforced with glass fiber and granite powder. Four composite formulations were developed using injection molding, including virgin ABS, ABS with 10% glass fiber, ABS with 10% granite powder, and a hybrid composite containing both reinforcements. A series of tests, including density, melt flow index (MFI), shrinkage, warpage, tensile strength, compressive strength, impact strength, flexural strength and hardness tests), were conducted to evaluate their performance. The hybrid composite demonstrated significant improvements in compressive, reduced shrinkage and warpage, and enhanced thermal stability compared to virgin ABS. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed better filler-matrix interaction and uniform dispersion in the hybrid composite. These results affirm the potential of hybrid reinforcement in optimizing the performance of ABS-based composites for structural and thermal applications.},
