    There is a need for competitive techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials in the materials science research industry. Nanomaterials have significant relevance in the emerging technologies and cobalt nanoparticle being a modern nanomaterial is in high demand in this regard. In this research, cobalt nanoparticles have been synthesised through a simplified combined chemical-plant based technique which is non-toxic to the environment and most importantly less time consuming. The obtained cobalt nanoparticles were crystalline with uniformly distributed sizes, spherical in shape with little pores along the particles. The technique was simple and it can be replicated in the synthesis of other metal nanoparticles

    Composite materials, comprised of fiber-reinforced polymer, offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them excellent for the building of complex, lightweight structures in a variety of industries, including the marine sector. There is an improvement in fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness in general marine component developments as a result of the lightweight and flexible design characteristics. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are often used to construct boats, ships, and other marine compounds, such as the hull, column beams, piling structures, and other internal ship components, since they meet the aforementioned characteristics. In terms of durability, rigidity, and corrosion resistance, these FRPs may readily replace conventional metal counterparts.So,this review gives an overview of FRP Composites usage in marine industries for various potential application.Fiber-reinforced polymer composites offer a significant advantage in strength and weight when compared to conventional materials. Costs are declining and production times are slowly decreasing for maritime components because of their less weight and greater adaptability. &nbsp
