Abstract
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.
