Abstract : The use of nanoparticles in composite materials is emerged as a result of increasing demand for the advancement
in material properties to satisfy the market necessities. This study presents the effects of nanosilica inclusion on tensile and
flexural characteristics of glass/epoxy fiber reinforced composite laminates. The laminates were fabricated by hand layup
technique. Nanosilica particles having four different weight fractions as 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 percentages were used for fabrication
of composite laminates. The specimens were prepared according to ASTM D638 and D790 standards for tensile and flexural
tests, respectively. Results obtained from specimens having nanosilica particles showed the serious improvement on the
tensile strength, flexural modulus and flexural strength values compared to specimens without nanosilica inclusion.
