This paper describes the impact and compression properties of waste silk fabric/epoxy composites with reference to the effect of varying waste silk fabric content within them. Maximum strength in the properties determined is observed for the optimum fabric loading. Properties like density, void content, and weight reduction were also determined for these composites. There is a marked reduction in the void content of the composites, as the weight percentage of the silk increased. The total weight of the composites reduced to a small percentage with the increase in the fabric reinforcement in the composites.

Key Words: silk • epoxy • impact • compression • density • void content • weight reduction
