Natural fiber composites have expanded the uses of traditional technical plastics, such as polyethylene, to include a variety of biomedical implants[1].The comfort of knee mobility is largely dependent on the tibial spacer. Matrix and reinforcement materials are two different types of materials that are combined to create composite materials.The matrix, often referred to as the composites' binder preserves the alignment and position of the reinforced elements, while reinforcement particles contributes the necessary strength and stiffness[2].Excellent mechanical qualities provided by silicon carbide include high hardness,excellent wear resistance, acid resistance, thermal resistance and superior thermalconductivity [3].The goal of this investigation is to create a bio-composite material that is promising and reinforced with natural fibre for use in knee implants using compression moulding method with six different weight fractions (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10wt%) and an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene resin matrix.The X-ray diffraction characterizations were performed to investigate the microstructural details of composites.It can be observed that the percentage crystallinity was obtained maximum for 10 wt% U-J/K/K-U composite
