    A typical composite is a material composed of two or more constituents elements mixed and bonded on a macroscopic scale. Generally, a composite material is composed of reinforcement embedded in a matrix. The matrix holds the reinforcement to form desired shape while reinforcement improves the overall mechanical and wear properties of the matrix. When designed the newly combined material exhibits better properties than each individual constituent element. To improve the properties further, ceramic filler could be added to the matrix. The main objective of the present work is to develop and characterize a new class of epoxy matrix composite reinforced with Glass-Jute Fiber and titanium dioxide filler. Wear test were conducted using pin on disc testing machine in accordance with ASTM G-99 for Jute-Glass epoxy composite and Air jet Erosion Test Using ASTM G-76. Worn out Surface of the composites was analysed using Scanning electron microscope.
