Abstract

Glass fibres (GFs) are the best composite where need of light weight, good strength, low cost, maximum load bearing, high corrosive resistance etc are necessary. Every industries want good composite materials for production at low cast and low wastages. Present paper concentrate on improvement of glass fibre and comparison with carbon fibre (CFs). Glass fibres are widely used in industrial and daily environment because of their low cost and good properties. It is better rather than metal but it has toxic property in their production which affect the human harmfully. Therefore improvement is necessary. So natural fibre is used for improvement of glass fibre which is user friendly and pocket friendly.
