The present work focuses on development of new type composite using bio char as reinforcement. The bio char is derived from sugarcane waste when undergo pyrolysis process. Because of the growing demand for waste utilization development of bio char from such wastes proves to be a potential one for various applications. In this study focuses bio char reinforced saturated polyester resin for composite fabrication. The composites are prepared by solution dispersion method. Bio char of different weight percentages such as 5, 10 and 15% were reinforced polyester matrix for taken this study. The prepared specimens are subjected to tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness and impact strength.
