"In recent years, composite materials have garnered attention, as various combinations of reinforcements can be incorporated to create lightweight materials with diverse properties. Composite materials can be tailored for particular applications and made suitable for adverse atmospheric conditions. A new, challenging research area involves the formulation of innovative materials with less weight, higher stiffness, lower costs, and higher biocompatibility. Examples of applications for such materials include electric vehicles, defense vehicles, aircraft parts and industrial machine structures. The incorporation of natural and inorganic filler to Kevlar epoxy composite shows improved behavioral properties compared to either natural or inorganic filler alone. These properties include tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear strength as well as thermal performance. This book aims to describe the advantages of using bi-filler reinforcement over single filler reinforcement to enable the development of innovative composite materials with tunable properties"--

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used in almost every type of advanced engineering structure, with their usage ranging from aircraft, helicopters and spacecraft through to boats, ships and offshore platforms and to automobiles, sports goods, chemical processing equipment and civil infrastructure such as bridges and buildlings. The usage of FRP composites continues to grow at an impressive rate as these materials are used more in their existing markets and become established in relatively new markets such as biomedical devices and civil structures. A key factor driving the increa
