Low velocity impact, compression after impact and morphological studies on flax fiber reinforced with basalt powder filled composites

Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the low velocity impact (LVI) and effect of compression after impact (CAI) properties on flax fiber and basalt powder reinforced polyester composites. For this study the 10 layers of flax fiber, basalt powder by varying from 5% to 30% the composites were prepared. In the LVI analysis composite (10 layers of basalt/10% of basalt powder) shows better results about 1755 N of force and for CAI also same composite B experienced with less deformation and more residual energy to absorbing the force of about 2250 N. The addition of filler material up to certain limit will support the reinforcing fiber to achieve some enhanced property. The morphological changes and their properties were assessed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction Analysis (XRD) studies for particulate basalt powder. The presence of Pyroxene group of rocks in basalt powder responsible for stability in high temperatures seen using XRD analysis. The band width around 3390-3425 cm −1 shows the presence of hydroxyl group (OH) in the basalt powder. This proved that the materials are Polar Hydrophilic in nature examined with FTIR spectroscopy.

Preparation and characterization of sugilite glass from basalt for α-amylase immobilization, statistical optimization of the immobilization process and description of free and immobilized enzyme

“…Analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique for determining the molecular components and structures of materials based on their electromagnetic spectrum wave of absorption or emission, whether they be solids, liquids, or gases (Prasath et al, 2020). Infrared spectroscopy can also be used to determine the chemical bonding of substances for qualitative and quantitative examination.…”

Biochar as an Effective Filler of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Bio-Epoxy Composites

“…They may occur in the form of powder, microparticles or nanoparticles, or long and short fibers [2][3][4]. The use of such modifiers as biochar [5][6][7], carbon nanotubes [8][9][10], basalt powder [11][12][13][14], lignin [15,16], and ground waste from the agricultural [17][18][19] and food industries [20][21][22] in polymer composites has been the subject of many scientific papers in recent years. A significant change in the properties of the polymer matrix is obtained by using additives of various shapes in the form of particles and fibers.…”

Synthesis of Coumarin Derivatives Through Pechmann Condensation Reaction of Phenols and β‐Ketoesters using Basalt Fiber Functionalized with 7‐aminonaphthalene‐1,3‐disulfonic acid as a New, Environment Friendly and Recyclable Catalyst

“…In the structure of BF the presence of some minerals such as Plagioclase [(Na,Ca)(Si,Al 3a). [37] The minerals present in the basalt fiber, chemical formula with nomenclature and position of 2θ are shown in the table 2. In (Figure 3b) the changes indicate that 3chloropropyltriethoxysilane is stabilized on the basalt fiber surface.…”
