Polymer composite materials reinforced with carbon black are far more efficient and harder. Carbon black is a form of para crystalline carbon that has surface area to volume ratio and are easily available. Composite materials reinforced with glass fiber shows improved hardness but lower tensile strength than pure HDPE. Glass fiber is a material made from extremely fine fibers of glasses that are significantly less brittle when used in composites. Coir fiber reinforced composites are generally eco-friendly. The reinforced material is completely biodegradable and renewable. The composite exhibits appreciable mechanical properties in terms of hardness compared to pure HDPE. Being easily available commercial polymer HDPE covers are abundantly used for food packing and other uses. After usage this HDPE becomes a global threat. Thus, by collecting used HDPE and reinforcing it with various fibers is done to enhance its reusability in various engineering applications.

Fiberglass is well-known as a fiber-reinforced plastic using glass-fiber, the glass fibers can be arranged randomly, compacted into a sheet or woven into a fabric. Fiberglass is not as solid or hard as carbon filaments, yet it has attributes that make it alluring in numerous applications. Fiberglass is non-conductive (e.g., a separator), and it is commonly undetectable to most sorts of transmissions. This settles on it a decent decision when managing electrical or communicates applications.
Thermal/Acoustical Insulation and Interior Wall/Ceiling Materials
Published in Kathleen Hess-Kosa, Building Materials, 2017
Fiberglass, also referred to as glass fiber, is today produced by forcing molten glass through superfine holes, creating glass filaments that could be woven or unwoven. The unwoven, less structured filaments are the major components in “fiberglass” thermal/acoustical building insulation. Yet, as most purchasers buyers are unaware, fiberglass insulation requires a binder to keep the fibers loosely adhered to one another. Typically, the binder is and has been 1%–4% UF and/or PF. More recently, however, the binder is a urea-extended PF.*

Type E glass is a low-alkali, general-use type of glass fiber, and it forms more than 95% of the produced glass fibers. In the glass fiber industry, the composition of glass is carefully monitored, and the quality of the glass filament is thoroughly inspected for defects. During production, a significant quantity of glass fiber that does not meet the specification requirements (lack of adequate physical attributes, not relating to chemical composition) is discarded as off-spec glass fiber. As a result, the off-spec glass fiber is removed from the production line as industrial waste and sometimes pulverized to reduce the volume and, thus, reduce the cost of transportation [22]. Since glass fibers are difficult to recycle [22], these off-spec glass fibers are landfilled. The glass fiber industry in the US alone could provide 500,000 tons per year of waste glass fibers to be utilized in beneficial applications [23]. Although the use of recycled glass, generated from soda-lime glass in concrete is well documented, there have been only a few publications that investigated the use of type E ground glass fibers (GGF) as an SCM [24–26].

Glass fiber fabric is an industrial product made of glass fiber yarn, which belongs to twistless roving plain weave fabric. Like traditional fabrics, glass fiber fabric also has the characteristics of periodicity, direction and uniformity. As a reinforcing material, the glass fiber cloth is widely used in aerospace, mechanical parts and other fields (Shekar & Kotresh, 2010). In the process of industrial production, defects as one of the most important factor is affecting their price and grade evaluation, as well as the critical link of product quality control (Qu et al., 2016). Therefore, it is important and far-reaching significance to solve the problem of surface defect detection of glass fiber cloth for the improvement of product quality and the steady development of glass fiber fabric enterprises.

Glass fiber is an inorganic nonmetallic material with good chemical stability, good thermal insulation, strong heat resistance and high mechanical strength. Normally, it is used as reinforcement in compound materials to improve the stiffness, strength and other properties (Bal et al., 2015; Sever et al., 2008). Most of researches focused on the influence of glass fiber on the comprehensive properties of compound materials (H. Chen et al., 2018; Elbadry et al., 2017; Raju et al., 2013), and the interfacial strength of the glass fiber-reinforced composites (Minty et al., 2018). The properties of glass fibers itself have also been investigated (Gao et al., 2007).
