Epoxidized novolac cardanol (ENC) was prepared from cardanol-a component of cashew nut shell liquid. Various uniand bidirectional carbon-fibre-reinforced composites were fabricated using ENC and other novolac resins. Diaminodiphenyl methane was used as curing agent for the systems. The mechanical properties of the composites were determined.
