Variations in the mechanical properties of the glass fibre reinforced polymers were seen when exploring nano fillers such as Multi Walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNTs) and graphene powders for reinforcement. GFRP composites when fabricated with increase in percentage weights of MWCNTs and graphene get better interfacial bonding with the matrix. Nano fillers improve the performance of the composites. This paper deals with the examination and experimental investigations carried out for the prediction of the enhancement of mechanical properties on GFRP reinforced with MWCNTs and graphene powders. GFRP composites were fabricated with variations in the amount of nano fillers in percentage weights of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% wt. MWCNTs and graphene powders. The method used for reinforcement of resin with nano fillers was ultrasonication method meant for avoiding voids. A tendency for the mechanical properties to deteriorate was observed when nano fillers added were beyond certain weights of MWCNTs and graphene powders. This could be due to the agglomeration of nano fillers that change the fibre/matrix interface. Graphene nano fillers opts to be better compared to MWCNTs since the fabricated graphene reinforced glass fibre specimens have a better performance than GFRP specimens reinforced with MWCNTs.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of fibre weight fraction on flexural and dynamic mechanical properties of Arenga pinnata fibre and its hybrid epoxy composites. In this work, four (4) composites configurations were fabricated using hand lay-out by varying fibre weight ratios between Arenga pinnata (AP) and glass fibre (GF); AP100% - 0%GF, AP70% - 30%GF, AP30% - 70%GF and AP0% - 100%GF, respectively. The flexural modulus indicates that the pure Arenga pinatta composites (AP100%-0%GF) are stronger than both hybrid and pure glass fibre composites (AP0%-100%GF). Increasing fibre weight fraction of glass fibre has resulted lower flexural properties. By dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), storage modulus of pure Arenga pinnata composites is always higher and have better thermal resistance as compared to the pure glass fibre composites. The result indicates that that Arenga pinatta fibre reinforced with epoxy composites have a great opportunity similar to that glass fibres composites counterpart in engineering application.
