In the present research, effects of adding carbon-nanofibers on out of plane shear properties of glass/epoxy composites have been investigated through short beam testing. Test procedure and specimen dimensions were based on ASTM D2344 standard. The shear properties of 0.25 wt. % hybrid nanoparticles/epoxy nanocomposites have been taken into account at room temperature. According to test results, adding CNF improved out of plane shear strength of specimens up to 18 percent against of specimens without nanoparticles
