Polymers providing their service to the society with their remarkablefeatureslike low-density, resistance to oxidation which leads to corrosion, low coefficient of friction, good mould capability&inexpensive. In the existing work epoxy resin ispreferred as matrix, Arhar flakes is preferred as reinforcement. Arhar is taken in the form of flakes & mixed with epoxy by using mechanical shear mixer, then placed in ultrasonicator for better scattering of Arhar flakes in the matrix. After this the composite is cured at room temperature. Different weights of Arhar flakes (5,10,15,20 gm wt.) has been to prepare the composite samples & same samples tested for mechanical properties. From the results of the mechanical properties, the Arhar flakes with 15gms epoxy composite samples showing the better values.
