Author Name : Manish Lila, Fanindra Kumar, Sanjay Sharma

Synopsis :

Composites are becoming more and more important as it can help in improving the quality of life. Now-a-days, composites are used in aeronautics, automobiles, boats, pipelines, buildings, roads, bridges, and dozens of other products. Researchers are finding ways to improve the qualities of composites so that they may be strong, lightweight, long-lasting, and inexpensive to produce. But the main factor which plays a major role in use of composites, is the cost of matrix and reinforcement. This paper provides information about easy availability of fibres, by-products and wastes from industries, technical properties and their potential for utilization in development and use of fibres’ composites materials in civil engineering field and construction industries. The matrix (Prime) material alone cannot achieve the good properties of composites. The focus is also kept in developing and making available, durable and reliable at reasonably minimum competitive price or cost.
