As first described in Section 1.4.2, there are a number of ways of further classifying fiber-matrix composites, such as according to the fiber and matrix type—for example, glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) or by fiber orientation. In this section, we utilize all of these combinations to describe the mechanical properties of some important fiber-reinforced composites. Again, not all possible combinations are covered, but the principles involved are applicable to most fiber-reinforced composites. We begin with some theoretical aspects of strength and modulus in composites.

In commercial use a common application of aU of these materials is in the form of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites see Sections 13.7 and 13.8. The glass fiber provides a significant toughening for these materials. For other applications, a variety of fillers are commonly used. 

Biocomposites consisting of the polymer matrix and natural fibers are environmen-tally-friendly material which can replace glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and are currently used in a wide range of fields such as the automotive and construction industries, electronic components, sports and leisure, etc. [1, 2]. Recently, the research on nanobiocomposites which are reinforced with both natural fiber and nanofiller is actively proceeding in order to offer higher thermal and mechanical properties, transport barrier, thermal resistivity and flame retardance in comparison with the conventional biocomposites [3-7]. Recently, nanoclay has become of increasing interest in nanocomposites because the characteristics of nanometer-scaled sihcate pellets, such...
