Composite materials shortened from composition material are an emerging field in today’s world. It is a rather cheap product that gives us the required strength. They are used in buildings, bridges, colleges and also not to forget many structures like boat hulls and swimming pools, etc. In Present research work composite materials made with Bi-directional glass fiber sheet as reinforcement material and polyester as matrix material. The nanoparticles of Al2O3 and SiC used as additive to identify the effects on tribological properties. The experiments carried out under constant sliding speed of 5000 meter by varying the load values in range of 20 to 80 N and the sliding speed from 2 to 5 m/s to find the effect of nanoparticles on wear and friction properties. The results show the improvement in wear property of GFRC+5% Al2O3 compare to GFRC and GFRC+5%SiC under different loading condition and sliding speeds. The COF value decreased continuously under loading condition for GFRC+5%SiC and shows minimum COF as loading values increased while in the case of sliding speed GFRC shows batter results compare to GFRC+5% Al2O3 and GFRC+5%SiC.
