摘要：Natural fibers are the other alternative in which the research is being carried out to overcome theproblem of using metals due to its distinct characteristics like low cost, less weight, biodegradability etc. In this paperan attempt is made to prepare two different composite materials using Rose Madder (Rubia Cordifolia) and BurmeseSilk Orchid (Bauhinia Racemosa) as reinforcement and Epoxy as the matrix material respectively. Composites wereprepared by increasing the weight of fibers like 5,10,15,20 grams for reinforcement respectively by Hand Layuptechnique. Impact testing of the material was done by cutting the material into ASTM standards on an IZOD ImpactTester. Chemical tests were conducted for the respective composite materials by cutting some specimen from thematerial and immersing it in the chemicals like Sodium Hydroxide, Benzene, Toluene, Ammonium Hydroxide etc. Itwas found that as the weight of fiber increases there is improvement in the impact properties of the composite materialand also its chemical properties towards various chemicals
