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 delamination fracture toughness of graphite and aramid-epoxy composite laminates was determined as a function of loading rate for unidirectional and woven reinforcements. In addition, the in-situ fracture toughness of the epoxy matrix was obtained by determining the crack energy release rate during the delamination fracture of thin epoxy films. The fracture surfaces were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The results show that increasing the loading rate and the use of woven reinforcements increase the fracture toughness. A model was used to estimate the relative contributions from the fiber-matrix interface and the matrix to the overall delamination crack energy release rate.
