The aim of this work is to develop a composite material with optimum properties so that it can use synthetic fiber reinforced composite material for a suitable application. A completely composite has to be prepared using fibers like Glass as reinforcement and polypropylene as matrix. The composites are to be prepared by using compression molding process and these laminas are evaluated mechanical properties as per ASTM standards. From the results it is observed that the length of fiber increases the strength increases.

Keywords: Polypropylene, Synthetic Fiber.
