A study was carried out for preparing the composites of Sterculia villosa fiber and Artocarpus Lakoocha Fluid from the bark of the tree. The Tensile Strength of the fiber was found to be around 1070 MPa. The bark of the Artocarpus Lakoocha is soaked in the water (in the ratio of 1 Kg of bark: 3 Liter of water) and kept there for 48 Hours in order to extract the maximum fluid from the bark. The liquid is then boiled with Continuous stirring till it become thick concentrated sticky substance which is dark reddish brown in color. Now thereafter a Biodegradability tests were carried out under different conditions. It was observed in the underground section of the test composite that the rate of degradation of the fiber component was faster than the aerial part of the fiber.
