This work is also about to make newer materials in the composites, which make better compared to other composites. The Lapox L-12 resin, E Glass fiber material and cerium oxide, which the one of the family member of the rare earth materials in the periodic table. The combination of these materials are used to study the tensile strength, Rockwell hardness and also examined the volumetric wear rate and coefficient of friction in sliding wear mechanism, in two condition i.e. with post curing (of 100oC for a period of 60 Min) and without post curing. However, due to post curing temperature the strength got increased mean while increase in the cerium oxide percentage the strength also got reduced as temperature is increase the viscosity got decreased and most of the resin is been consumed with cerium oxide, hence there is decrease in strength. Whereas the volumetric wear rate decrease with increase in filler content up to 20% filler addition then it increases with increase in the filler content, corresponding coefficient of friction decreases with increase in the filler content and later with increase in the filler content increase the coefficient of friction. SEM analysis reveals the detail of the wear characteristics; the volumetric wear rate is also increased to all the test specimens. As the load and tangentially velocity is increased the wear also increased.
