The development of reinforced composite fibre has received a lot of attention in recent years. Reinforced composite fibres have superior mechanical properties to glass and carbon fibre, such as stiffness, impact strength, durability, and modulus. Poor moisture tolerance and the formation of its forms during processing render it more difficult to use them in a specific application. The effect of adding silica nano particle content to a glass fiber-reinforced composite fabricated through hand lay-up followed by hot press moulding is investigated in this study, and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength are evaluated. The findings showed that when 5 percent Nano-silica is applied to the glass fibre, optimum tensile and flexural strength is obtained, and that the addition of 1 percent Nano-silica has major effects on the Charpy impact behaviour.
