ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the detailed view of a synthetic fiber, namely glass fiber, and its composite materials. It is a manufactured fiber and the glass fiber ore materials are taken from natural sources. The glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites production, characterization, and their utilization are briefly explained. The glass fiber is in the form of long fiber, short fiber, woven fabric, and random fiber mat. The suitable weight or volume fraction (VF) and orientation of glass fiber give the desired properties of the composites and also enhance the functional characteristics of GFRP composites. Increasing the grade sheet grit size decreases the wear rate of the R-glass fiber composites. The absence of filler in the glass fiber composite leads to wear rate. The fillers are reinforced with GFRP composite that are reducing the wear rate of the materials. The electronics produce of E-glass reinforced GFRP composites are used in circuit board manufacture (PCBs), TVs, radios, computers, cell phones, electrical motor covers.
