Present research deals with the various ratio (0%, 40%, 50%, and 60% by wt%) of phenolic resin and epoxy resin blend composites. Phenolic resin/Epoxy resin blend composites were manufactured by hand lay-up technique and investigated the thermal properties (thermogravimetric analysis) of composites and evaluated optimum ratio of epoxy in phenolic composites. The residual content of pure phenolic was very high however the pure epoxy showed least thermal stable. After blending phenolic resin in epoxy resin, the thermal properties of epoxy/phenolic composite improved.
