Use of composite laminates is found in various applications such as aircraft and automotive, sports, rocket parts and civil structures. Resin system of the polymer composites enacts a crucial role of binding the reinforcements properly to provide good mechanical properties. The presence of any kind of filler alters the properties of resin system which in turn also alters the mechanical behaviour of composite laminate. In the present work an attempt has been made to enhance the mechanical performance of glass fibre epoxy composites by embedding nano calcium carbonate particles in resin system. These particles were added in different weight fractions like 1, 3 and 5% and the response of GFRP nano composites were recorded under flexural and shear loads. Composite laminates with 3% wt. of nano particles have shown considerable improvement among the other laminates.

The fatigue life of a glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) hybrid composite containing 9 wt.% of rubber microparticles and 10 wt.% of silica nanoparticles, under a standard helicopter rotor spectrum load sequence was determined and observed to be about three times higher than that of GFRP with unmodified epoxy matrix. The underlying mechanisms for the observed improvements in spectrum fatigue life of GFRP composite with the hybrid matrix are discussed.
