Abstract

Utilization of Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) composites for development of new and modification of already present structures has increased largely in the past few decades. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites have many qualities like corrosion resistant, longer life time, less weight, specific stiffness and high strength, are effortlessly built, and can be custom-made to fulfill execution prerequisites [1]. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites are ordinarily manufactured utilizing a polymer framework, for example, vinyl ester, polyester or epoxy, and protected with different evaluations of glass, potentially aramid fibers or carbon, for auxiliary applications. Because of its favorable attributes, Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites have been incorporated into new development and modification of structures through its utilization as protection in bridging decks, seismic updates, outside support and concrete. The aim of this review is to provide a brief overview to enhance the mechanical strength of FRP composites by addition of Nano particles. Various Nano particles can be utilized in this regard like nanoparticles of Titania. Nanoparticles of Aluminum Oxide, nanoparticles of Zinc Oxide, nanoparticles of Silica and many others.
