“…Epoxies, due to a wide range of hardeners, can cure at room or elevated temperature, achieving favorable mechanical and thermal properties. However, they are reinforced with synthetic and natural fibers, such as glass, carbon [9], basalt [10], aramid [11], jute [12], or flax [13,14], due to their low impact strength and brittleness. Hybrid epoxy composites may contain several types of powder or liquid modifiers, several types of fibrous modifiers, or both powder and fibrous modifiers [15,16].…”

Fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are used in various branches of industry because of their favorable strength and thermal properties, resistance to chemical and atmospheric conditions, as well as low specific gravity. This review discusses the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of hybrid epoxy composites that were reinforced with glass, carbon, and basalt fabric modified with powder filler. The modification of the epoxy matrix mainly leads to an improvement in its adhesion to the layers of reinforcing fibers in the form of laminate fabrics. Some commonly used epoxy matrix modifiers in powder form include carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoclay, silica, and natural fillers. Fiber fabric reinforcement can be unidirectional, multidirectional, biaxial, or have plain, twill, and satin weave, etc. Commonly used methods of laminating epoxy composites are hand lay-up process, resin transfer molding, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, and hot or cold pressing. The following review is a valuable source of information on multiscale epoxy composites due to the multitude of technological and material solutions.

“…In recent years, there has been substantial interest in the application of basalt fibres as reinforcement of polymer matrices mainly as replacement for glass fibres in view of their advantages in terms of environmental cost relative to their chemical and mechanical properties [12][13][14]. This has triggered the development of hybrids including plant fibre and basalt fibre laminates [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Investigation on the fatigue life of hybrid composites is critical to extend their structural applications.However, there is a lack of research on fatigue performance of hybrid composites. In this study, the fatigue life of a flax-basalt woven-ply hybrid composite is investigated and compared with the behaviour of 100% flax and 100% basalt composites. After the optimisation of the epoxy resin curing cycle, tension-tension fatigue tests were performed on samples with two orientations, 0°/90° and ± 45°. S-N curves with absolute values and with normalised values are discussed. Results showed that the hybridisation was able to produce a positive effect on the fatigue resistance of basalt laminates: a better normalised fatigue resistance was obtained for the hybrid composite in comparison with the 100% basalt one in both orientations. A two-parameter fatigue life model was then applied and showed its ability to predict the fatigue behaviour of the hybrid composite for the two orientations. An analysis of damage mechanisms by means of infrared thermography and scanning electron microscopy allowed observing the different types of damage occurring during fatigue loading in hybrid composites.

“…The flax fiber reinforced epoxy and bioepoxy hybrid laminates, that is, C1 and C2 composites tends to have lower values among all the prepared laminates. From the previous works, [11,23,24] it is envied that the hybridization of carbon and basalt fabrics with flax fiber will consequence in enhanced tensile properties which in turn would justify the usage of present composites in various applications. The flexural strength and modulus test results also exhibited the same trend of results as obtained in tensile test.…”

The present research investigation focuses on the development of flax-basaltcarbon fiber reinforced epoxy/bioepoxy hybrid composites under different stacking sequence technique. The composites were fabricated using manual hand lay-up method and compression molding technique. The specimens were prepared using standard ASTM methods and subjected to various mechanical experimentations such as tensile, flexural, interlaminar shear strength, and impact tests. Water absorption study under distilled water condition, contact angle measurement, thermogravimetric analysis, and surface morphology study using scanning electron microscopy analysis was also performed. From the results obtained, the composites manufactured in the present work can be prospectively utilized in various engineering medium load structural applications.
