Composite materials are replacing traditional materials, because of their superior physical and mechanical properties. The main objective of the present work is to perform stress-strain analysis on Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS)-epoxy resin composites under reinforcement of fibres and dispersion of CuO, ZnO, MgO, SiO and TiO2nano metal oxides. Combination of glass fibre with particle reinforcement (GFRPs) applications has increased in recent days. In this study, glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites with different nano metal oxides are developed by compression moulding method and their mechanical properties such as breaking load, elastic limit, plastic range and fracture point are evaluated. The results indicate that the incorporation of nanophase material with glass fibre can improve the properties of composites.

In this work, sandwich composite properties were investigated by addition of coconut coir (CC). Fibres in the polyurethane foam cores ranges from 0 to 20 wt.%. Glass fibre reinforced epoxy panels were used as a skin and polyurethane foam as a core, these materials adhesively bonded to keep the whole structure attached with each other. Sandwich composite skins and core-skin bonding were attained via adhesive bonding technique. While polyurethane foam reinforced by coconut coir fibres were manufactured by using one shot process and polyurethane moulding method. Sandwich composite panels with different coir fibres compositions were subjected to the density test, weight per area test and flexural testing in order to investigate their physical and mechanical properties. From the experimental results and analysis, it was found that the sandwich composites with 10 wt.% of coir fibres offer higher mechanical properties.
