Abstract
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are widely employed in aerospace and automotive industries because of light weight, wear resistance with lower price. To have the better characteristics of GFRP composites, titanium oxide light metal filler was added in the unsaturated polyester resin matrix. The hybrid GFRP composites were made with 10 wt % of filler content and without the filler material. The integration of added filler material reinforcement and increased fiber content are compared and gives improved tensile, impact and hardness from the series of experiments. Chemical resistance and thermal property of GFRP composites were increased due to the hybrid reinforcement.
