ABSTRACT
A fiber-reinforced polymer composite (FRP) is a class of materials belonging to the composite family which is usually known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and non-corrosive nature. One of the earliest used FRP materials was glass fiber-embedded polymer resin by a growing petrochemical industry just after World War II. The major consequence of hydrothermal degradation appears in form of interfacial damage between the filler and matrix, which directly/indirectly affects the lifetime performances and structural integrity of the composites. There has been a lot of work on various types of fillers, out of which one of the possible combinations is the hybrid of organic-organic nanofillers. Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites constitute one of the key players in composite industries owing to their light weight, high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and economic viability as compared to their metallic and non-metallic counterparts. All these possibilities lead to extensive use of the GFRP in various parts of aerospace, space, marine, automobile, and civil infrastructure.
