In current years composites have concerned considerable importance as a potential operational material. The composite materials are replacing the traditional materials, because of its superior properties such as low thermal expansion, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio ,Low cost, light weights, high specific modulus, renewability, and biodegradability are the most basic & common attractive features of composites that make them useful for industrial applications. The composite have generally minimal effort of creation, simple to create and better-quality contrast than perfect polymer tars. The developments of new materials are on the anvil and are growing day by day. In this study, Woven roving mats (E-glass fiber orientation (-45/45, 0/90, 45/45),UD450GSM) were cut in measured dimensions and a mixture of Polyester Resin, Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP), Cobalt and rice husk powder is used to manufacture the glass fiber reinforced composite by hand lay-up method. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact are evaluated Keywords: Epoxy Resin, e-glass fibre, fly ash, Biodegradability, Mechanical Properties
