Nanotechnology is an exciting technological advancement that has the potential to contribute significantly to the future of plastic. Through nanotechnology, special nano-composites can be created that will be more dent, heat and scratch resistant. Nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio. This provides tremendous driving forces for diffusion, especially at elevated temperatures and also reduces the incipient melting temperature of nanoparticles The Study of glass fiber reinforced polyester composites filled with nano CaCO3 has been a less studied area. But it gives very good mechanical properties. There is a very wide scope for future scholars to explore this area of research. In future, this study can be extended to new composites using different grades of nano CaCO3 and other potential fillers and the resulting experimental findings can be similarly analyzed. The visco-elastic studies such as storage modulus, loss modulus can be analyzed. The morphological studies will focus on dispersion of nano particle throught the composite.
