“…Up to this point, studies on the use of BFs as reinforcements for polymer composites have largely focused on pure engineering thermoplastic, thermosetting or their blends. For example, they were employed to reinforce epoxy resin, poly(lactic acid), polypropylene, nylon 6, ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene, polyamide, furan/epoxy resin, benzoxazine/epoxy resin, vinyl ester/epoxy resin, and undoubtedly meaningful results from the mechanical and thermal properties of the produced composites were effectively achieved. Nevertheless, as per of our knowledge, no attempts till now have been carried out to use BFs as reinforcements for overcoming the brittleness of CE/BOZ resin blends.…”

This present article investigates the effect of silane-treated basalt fibers (TBFs) on the morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of cyanate ester/benzoxazine (CE/BOZ) resin composites. The characterization was made using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), flexural test, impact strength (IS) test, microhardness test, dynamic scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mechanical test results inferred the distinctive improvements in the values of the flexural strength and modulus, IS, and microhardness of the CE/BOZ composites. The thermal stabilities in terms of the T g , T 5% , T 10% , and T HRI were appreciably improved and were higher than those of the pure CE/BOZ resin. Data from the SEM and FTIR tests ascertained the good dispersion and adhesion between the TBFs and the resin matrix, which might be behind the significant enhancement in the ultimate performances of the composites, with respect to the distinguished properties of BFs.

“…Moreover, nanoSiO 2 has a high affinity for basalt fibers as they are similar in valence bond polarity. Thus, 0D nanoSiO 2 spheres are promising to mediate a tight combination of epoxy with basalt fibers, which can improve the performance of epoxy/basalt fiber composites .…”

Epoxy/basalt fiber composites were modified by 2D montmorillonite (MMT), 0D nanoSiO2, or 2D MMT/ 0D nanoSiO2 double nanoparticles. Mechanical tests showed that all the modified composites had considerably improved interlaminar shear strength and notch impact strength compared with the unmodified epoxy/basalt fiber composites, and that the double nanoparticle‐modified composites displayed the greatest improvement. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy revealed that co‐addition of 2D MMT and 0D nanoSiO2 into epoxy/basalt fiber composites produced a unique microstructure. The MMT was completely exfoliated into nanoscale mono‐sheets and interacted with nanoSiO2 particles to assemble into networks. The networks trapped many epoxy molecules within them and they tightly surrounded basalt fibers to form buffer layers. These results indicate that double nanoparticles of different dimensionality promote epoxy molecules to infiltrate between, combine with and coat basalt fibers more effectively than single nanoparticles, which facilitates better cooperation of epoxy and basalt fibers in resisting external forces. Modification with dimensionally different nanoparticles is an effective pathway to improve the performance of epoxy/basalt fiber composites and broaden their application fields. POLYM. ENG.

“…Several studies related to nanosilica incorporation on polymer based composite materials are present in the literature. Kuzmin et al [4] conducted a study related to surface modification of basalt fibers by coating the fibers with nanosilica particles. 23% increase in tensile strength was obtained from the sample having 0.1 wt.%nanosilica inclusion when compared to non-coated fibers.…”

Desire to improve the efficiency of composite materials for engineering applications has led to the use of nano-sized additives or fillers such as nanoclay, nanosilica, nano-graphene, carbon nanotubes. The effect of nanoparticle inclusion on mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composite materials has been investigated by many researchers and crucial effects have been reported in several papers. In this work, the effects of nanosilica content on the low velocity impact behaviors of glass/epoxy fiber reinforced composite laminates are determined using Charpy impact tests. The composite laminates are fabricated via hand lay-up followed by hot press molding. The nanosilica particles with different weight percentages are dispersed in epoxy resins using mechanical stirring. The absorbed impact energy values of flatwise-unnotched and edgewise-notched beam specimens, and impact damages are analyzed as a measure of impact behavior. The results show that the incorporation of nanosilica particles have significant effects on the Charpy impact behavior.
