“…It was spotted that the basalt fibers used in the previous study had a surface coating unsuitable for the PP matrix that led to the conclusion that the fiber-matrix interaction and accordingly the overall part performance could be further improved by using the basalt fibers with an appropriate PP-coating. Sizing or coating of basalt fibers involves the application of a thin coating to the fiber surface, which forms a chemical bond between the polymer and the fibers [26,[28][29][30]. The fiber coating is an integral part of the manufacturing process and requires no further processing steps, making it a relatively convenient process.…”

Natural fibers, such as kenaf, hemp, and flax, also known as bast fibers, offer several benefits such as low density, carbon dioxide neutrality, and less dependence on petroleum sources. Their function as reinforcement in polymer composites offers a great potential to replace a segment of the glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, especially in automotive components. Despite their promising benefits, they cannot meet the structural and durability demands of automobile parts because of their poor mechanical properties compared to glass fibers. The focus of this research work was the improvement of the mechanical property profile of the bast fiber reinforced polypropylene composites by hybridization with natural high-performance basalt fibers and the influence of basalt fibers coating and polymer modification at the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites. The specific tensile strength of the composite with polymer tailored coating was 39% and the flexural strength was 44% higher than the composite with epoxy-based basalt fibers. The mechanical performance was even better when the bast/basalt hybridization was done in maleic anhydride modified polymer. This led to the conclusion that basalt fibers sizing and polymer modification are the deciding factors in defining the optimal mechanical performance of the composites by influencing the fiber-matrix interaction. The composites were analyzed for their mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties. The comparison of bast/basalt hybrid composite with bast/glass fibers hybrid composite showed a 32% higher specific flexural and tensile strength of the basalt hybrid composite, supporting the concept of basalt fibers as a natural alternative of the glass fibers.

“…It is often related to internal friction and affected by the molecular motions, relaxation processes, morphology, transitions, and other structural heterogeneities . According to findings published in the literature , basalt fiber establishes poor interfacial adhesion in polymer basalt fiber systems. Within this context, the decrease in loss modulus might be regarded as a result of poor interfacial bonding between basalt fibers and epoxy matrix .…”

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) have increasingly gained importance among the scientific community as well as industry due to their high specific strength and light weight properties. However, CFRPs suffer from menace of high frequency vibration and low damping ability under normal operating conditions. This study aimed to experimentally investigate the effect of basalt fiber hybridization on vibration damping and tensile properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. Interply hybrid composites with varying basalt fiber percentages were fabricated through vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process and the vibration damping properties were evaluated from frequency response curves using half‐power bandwidth method. The results showed that incorporation of basalt fiber into the carbon fiber/epoxy composites significantly affected and enhanced damping properties with the increase in volume fraction of basalt fiber content. However, the results from tensile tests displayed significant drops in tensile strength and tensile modulus. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:E2274–E2282, 2018. © 2017 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…Concerning thermosetting matrices, it is possible to obtain great benefits, primarily in terms of mechanical and thermal properties, including basalt fibers in epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester resins [5][6][7][8][9]. However-with the awareness that the sustainability of new products can be encouraged by the recyclability of the involved matrices-recently, the focus of the research has been increasingly devoted to thermoplastic systems mainly based on polypropylene [10][11][12], polyethene [13,14], polyamides [15][16][17][18], polyesters [19,20] as well as polymer blends [21] and hybrids [22,23].…”

Polypropylene/Basalt Fabric Laminates: Flexural Properties and Impact Damage Behavior

et al. 2020

Recently, the growing interests into the environmental matter are driving the research interest to the development of new eco-sustainable composite materials toward the replacement of synthetic reinforcing fibers with natural ones and exploiting the intrinsic recyclability of thermoplastic resins even for uses in which thermosetting matrices are well consolidated (e.g., naval and aeronautical fields). In this work, polypropylene/basalt fabric composite samples were prepared by film stacking and compression molding procedures. They have been studied in terms of flexural and low-velocity impact behavior. The influence related to the matrix modification with a pre-optimized amount of maleic anhydride grafted PP as coupling agent was studied. The mechanical performances of the composite systems were compared with those of laminates consisting of the pure matrix and obtained by hot-pressing of PP pellets and PP films used in the stacking procedure. Results, on one side, demonstrated a slight reduction of both static and dynamic parameters at the break for specimens from superimposed films to ones prepared from PP pellets. Moreover, an outstanding improvement of mechanical performances was shown in the presence of basalt layers, especially for compatibilized samples.
