“…Furthermore, another explanation that could be attributed to this enhancement is the possibility of the hybridization to occupy more vacant point around the poly(BA-a) resin surfaces to cover each weak spot against mechanical stress that resulted in reducing all the released space of the Poly(BA-a) resin. A similar deduction for basalt fibers reinforced polymer composites were also reported [36,37].…”

This work studied the structural, morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties of newly designed polymeric materials using high-performance hybrid fibers to reinforce the polybenzoxazine resins. To achieve this goal, hybrid fibers consisting of chopped Kevlar and carbon fibers were subjected to a silane surface treatment, incorporated into the resin matrix in various combinations, and then isothermally cured using the compression molding technique. The mechanical performances of the prepared composites were scrutinized in terms of bending and tensile tests. By way of illustration, the composites holding 20 wt % Kevlar fibers and 20 wt % carbon fibers accomplished a bending strength and modulus of 237.35 MPa and 7.80 GPa, respectively. Additionally, the same composites recorded a tensile stress and toughness of 77 MPa and 0.27 MPa, respectively, indicating an increase of about 234% and 32.8% when compared to the pristine resin’s properties. The thermogravimetric analysis denoted an excellent thermal resistance of the reinforced hybrid composites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved that the functional groups of the as-used coupling agent were effectively grafted on the external surfaces of the reinforcing systems, and further confirmed that the chemical reaction took place between the treated fibers and the polybenzoxazine matrix, although the scanning electron microscope showed a uniform dispersion and interfacial adhesion of the fibers within the resin matrix. In fact, the incorporation of treated fibers along with their good dispersion/adhesion could explain the progressive enhancement in terms of thermal and mechanical properties that were observed in the hybrid composites.

“…BF provided a great increase in strength properties, with quite high strain reduction, but still they seem to be a very interesting alternative to glass or carbon fibers. [ 29–31 ] In this work, composites on POM matrix with short BF and silicon carbide (SiC) whiskers were investigated. Whiskers are single crystals with an aspect ratio (i.e., length to diameter ratio) of typically greater than 10 and a diameter range is from 0.01 to 10 μm.…”

This paper presents an analysis of the hybrid reinforcement of polyoxymethylene composites. Basalt fibers and monocrystalline silicon carbide fibers were used as reinforcement. Basic tests of mechanical properties were carried out, such as the static tensile and flexural test. The tests were repeated under external factors, such as the influence of water aging and a wide range of exploitation temperatures. The materials were also subjected to tribological tests, that is, determination of the friction coefficient and the specific wear rate. Strength tests revealed an increase in the stiffness of the material as well as a reduction the friction coefficient and abrasive wear. The addition of monocrystalline fibers significantly limited water absorption, stabilized the strength properties in the water environment as well as provided better material's resistance to dynamic impact.

“…[6][7][8] Among natural reinforcements, basalt fibers (BFs) are regarded as one of the most suitable natural fibers, owing to their excellent mechanical properties and stability, although the BF is extracted from nonbiodegradable rocks. [9][10][11][12] Young's modulus of BF bundles, maximum stress, and strain at break are 80-110 GPa, 3200-4200 MPa, and 3.1%, respectively. [13][14][15] These properties combined with the outstanding stability and commercial price render BF a very attractive alternative to glass fiber in structural applications.…”

The effect of basalt fiber (BF) content on the properties of BF-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites was investigated. Composites with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 wt% BF were fabricated. The results revealed that (1) the mechanical properties improved with increasing BF content. The maximum tensile strength and modulus of the composites (i.e. 140 and 5050 MPa, respectively) occurred at a BF content of 50%. The maximum flexural strength, that is, 159.5 MPa was two times larger than that of the pure PLA and was obtained at a BF content of 40%. However, the mechanical properties deteriorated at BF contents >50%. (2) BF can stop storage modulus loss and are effective in improving the crystallinity, as revealed by dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The crystallinity improved from 34.6% to 54.6% with BF addition. (3) After the accelerated aging test, pure PLA was too weak for testing. However, high values of the tensile modulus (i.e. 60% that of the nonaged samples) were maintained by the BF-reinforced PLA. This resulted possibly from the high crystallinity of the PLA composites. Therefore, suitable amounts of BF as reinforcements can yield improvements in the performance of PLA composites.
