This work aims to examine the mechanical and thermal behavior of rising husk fiber/starch reinforced epoxy polymer composites. Experiments are carried out to study the effect of fiber and filler volume percentage on the mechanical, and thermal behavior of epoxy-based polymer composites. The volume of fibre and filler is varied by 10%,20%,30%, 40%, and starch 5% and 10% and 1.5%, respectively. The specimens are fabricated by using hand layup technique. The specimens are expurgated according to ASTM standards. The effects of rising husk fiber and filler were examined under different thermal conditions. The mechanical results show that the addition of fiber increased the impact characters of epoxy resin, whereas the addition of starch shell filler increased the termal conductivity of the composite. We found that the results show that the stacking sequences of rising Husk/starch fibers have a significant impact on thermal conductivity. Composites with the stacking sequence mode RH40 with 15 % starch exhibit the highest thermal conductivity 2.6 W/m·K an enhancement of 472,72% over the thermal conductivity of the PC resin (0.55 W/m·K) it is significant
