The laminated structural dactyl club of mantis shrimp consisting of the impact and periodic region has been studied, but most researchers only focus on the excellent impact resistance and strength of periodic region through the thickness direction. In this paper, a novel dactyl-inspired basalt fiber-reinforced sandwich-structural composite (BFSC) was manufactured based on two regions of the dactyl club by compression molding process. The BFSC was compared with discontinuous basalt fiber-reinforced composite (DBFC) in mechanical tests of tensile, flexural, compression, hardness and impact.
