    Weight reduction is one of the big challenges in the auto industry. In the aerospace industry, the high modulus of composite material makes weight savings to replace alloys such as aluminium and titanium. It is one way to reduce fuel consumption and reducing emissions in vehicles by using composite. Among them, carbon fiber and glass fiber are the most useful materials in composite to reduce the weight in vehicles not only in the automotive field but also in aircraft, marine, medicine, sport, etc. In this study, hand lay-up (wet lay-up) method is used to fabricate carbon fiber and glass fiber composites with different curing temperature 30°C (the equivalent of room temperature) until it is dry and 80°C for curing 6 hours. The strength of carbon fiber and glass fiber composites were increased over 10% and the hardness of carbon fiber composite was also increased two times at 80°C curing temperature. Furthermore, the fracture mechanism of carbon fiber and glass fiber composites were also observed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image processing method.

    In the automotive field, most of the manufacturers are looking to replace the material steel, aluminium with lightweight material like carbon fiber or glass fiber composite. The purpose are due to their relatively high strength, higher chemical resistance, flexible usage temperature and higher stiffness than steel. In this study, mechanical properties of carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced polymer were investigate. It was find that the tensile strength of carbon fiber composite is approximately 11% higher than that of glass fiber, almost twice in Young's modulus than that of glass fiber. Carbon fiber is two times higher than glass fiber in both flexural stress and young modulus of flexural three points bending test. Image analysis of fracture and damage were detect by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) in microstructure scale to observe the fracture mechanism. Observed different failure mode in fiber and resin. Chemical composition of composite and fibers were investigated by using electron dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy that gave out in 88 w.t % of carbon and 12 w.t % in carbon fiber twill (CFT) composite. On the other hand, glass fiber woven (GFW) composite contained 72.7 w.t % of C, 20.7 w.t % of O2, and the rest contained Si, Ca, Al, Mg and Cl.
