Abstract- A composite material is a combination of two materials with different physical and chemical properties. When they are combined they create a material which is specialised to do a certain job, for instance to become stronger, lighter or resistant to electricity. They can also improve strength and stiffness. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are the most widely used composite type. Just as is the case for polymers, the environment typically needs to be controlled to obtain consistent test results for PMCs Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) have gained considerable interest mainly due to their low cost and higher specific strength and stiffness compared to conventional metallic alloys. This prepared composites were evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis method such as dynamic mechanical analysis, X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared. The aim is to conduct the dynamic mechanical analysis of polyurethane and polyester composite. Polyurethane is the thermosetting polymer composite which can withstand high temperature. On the other hand polyester is the fiber material with ductile nature. After the preparation of the composites ,mechanical analysis of the specimen is to be analyzed.
