【 摘 要 】

Now a day rapidly growing interest in natural fiber reinforced composites is due to its light weight, low price, wide availability, renewability, low density & satisfactory mechanical properties replacing glass, carbon & manmade fiber composites. In addition to that Chicken feather fiber commonly described waste product possesses hydrophobic properties, thermal insulation & teak wood dust having excellent wear characteristics, strengthening properties so both can be advantageously used as reinforcing material. So in this paper Composite specimens are prepared referring to ASTM standard by pouring the mixture of epoxy matrix and natural fiber Teak wood dust of particular size and using different percentage of weight and chopped chicken feather into metallic mould. Specimen so developed tested in UTM for Tensile strength to determine which specimen reinforcement having highest tensile strength. From the water absorption test in 24 hours the weight gain is very little and negligible hence composites can perform well in moist atmosphere.
