Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites were prepared by various manufacturing technologies and are widely used for various applications such as automotive fields as aerospace defense industries (busses, railways). Polymer composites were found to have excellent friction and wear performance after modification with functional fillers and reinforcements. This allows them to be flexible. The impact of fly ash on glass fiber-polymer composite laminate has been explored in this research by adding 0 to 15 wt percent fly ash to the fiber-phenolic composite of glass. Using hand-lay method to create the laminated composite, the slurry of fly ash-phenolic resin was impregnated. In hot press, the composite was then cured using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) to investigate viscoelastic behaviour. Storage modules, loss modules and damping factors with temperature variation and fly ash content are evaluated. Significant enhancement is noted in the storage and loss module, suggesting that fly ash can be used in glass fiber-phenolic composites as reinforcing filler.
