Abstract—Fiberglass, developed in the late 1940s, was the first modern composite and is still the most common. It makes up about 65 per cent of all the composites produced today and is used for boat hulls, surfboards, sporting goods, swimming pool linings, building panels and car bodies. We may well be using something made of fiberglass without knowing it. Polymer composites are gaining popularity in many industrial applications due to their higher specific strength and module. Now days, the fiber reinforced composites have dramatically come into use. These composites have gained so much recognition because of their processing advantages and good technical properties like strength, density, impact, stiffness, elastic modulus, creep rate, damping. Furthermore, these properties showed considerable improvement with increasing silk fabric content. The waste silk collected from the factory outlets were used to fabricate silk reinforced epoxy composites and various samples were developed with varying silk content. In recent years the natural fiber composites have attracted substantial importance as a potential structural material. The attractive features of glass fiber have been their low cost, light weight, high specific modulus, renewability and biodegradability. Natural composites reinforced with such natural fibers have thus been a subject of intense study for high strength, low cost application in contrast to the synthetic fiber reinforced composite.In the present work “Research Work on Fiber Glass Wool Reinforced and Epoxy Matrix Composite Material” tests were performed to find tensile strength, density, impact, damping. of the composites for the different variables. The composites were fabricated using Epoxy resin as polymer, Araldite as hardener, Glass fiber as reinforcement. Single and double layer composites were made. They were then experimented in the universal testing machine and more test.
