Many attempts have been undertaken to mechanically or chemically create various types of in organic filled polymers. These methods, however, necessitate the alteration of the filler material through intricate polymerization reactions, making them unsuitable for industrial use. Waste flyash recovery is challenging, and the utilisation rate is poor. This flyash is employed in novel composite materials as a filler or partial reinforcement. Flyash is employed as a filler material for polymer matrix composites in this study. Aramid and E-Glass fibres are utilised as reinforcement with epoxy resin to improve the bonding strength between the fibres and filler materials, resulting in a high load bearing capacity. The specimens are tested for mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact according to ASTM standards. The maximal impact strength was seen at a 5wt% flyash addition, however the tensile and flexural strength were steadily lowered with the addition of 5wt% flyash.
