-Damping and vibration characteristics of basalt epoxy fibre-reinforced composite laminated materials have been investigated with respect to the effect of fibre orientations. Four symmetric laminates having [(0/90) 4 ] S fibre orientation angles were prepared using plain weave basalt fabrics as reinforcement. The dynamic modal analysis was performed to determine dynamic characteristics of the composite laminates. Using half power band-width method, the damping properties were deduced from vibration response envelope curve. Loss modulus, storage modulus and damping ratio of the structures were also determined. It was observed that damping and vibration characteristics of the composite samples were strongly affected by the fibre orientation of basalt/epoxy composite. The increase in angle of fibre orientation from 0˚ to 45˚ resulted in a decrease in natural frequencies and an increase in damping ratios.

“…These various similarities motivated comparisons between their polymer reinforced composites which found promising potential use for BF in fields where GF is already largely applied 11,12,13 . Experimentally measuring the load carrying capacity of a vessel can be expensive and impractical given the different design configurations possible by changing the layup 14 .…”

The application of basalt fibers are possible in many areas thanks to its multiple and good properties. It exhibits excellent resistance to alkalis, similar to glass fiber, at a much lower cost than carbon and aramid fibers. In the present paper, a comparative study on mechanical properties of basalt and E-glass fiber composites was performed. Results of apparent hoop tensile strength test of ring specimens cut from tubes and the interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) test are presented. Tensile tests using split disk method provide reasonably accurate properties with regard to the apparent hoop tensile strength of polymer reinforced composites. Comparison between the two tubes showed higher basalt fiber composite performance on apparent hoop tensile strength (45% higher) and on the interfacial property interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) (11% higher). New data obtained in this work on basalt fiber composite tubes confirm the literature for basalt fiber composite with other geometries, where it overcomes mechanical properties of the widely used glass fiber composites.

“…Basalt fiber-reinforced plastics (BFRPs) are newly emerging composite materials due to their being recyclable, cost effective, and lightweight [1][2][3][4]. Basalt fiber (BF), produced by abundant natural basalt rocks, is a promising fiber reinforcement, which endows basalt fiber with excellent chemical, weather, and heat resistance [5,6].…”

Abstract:In this work, an economical modifier silane agent-KH550-was used for surface treatment of basalt fiber. Then, a biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/modified basalt fiber (MBF) biocomposite was successfully developed. The effects of silane treatment and fiber mass content on crystalline structure, isothermal crystallization process and mechanical performance of composites were evaluated. The interfacial crystallization of PBS on the surface of MBF was investigated by using a polarized optical microscope (POM). The transcrystalline (TC) structure could be clearly observed and it grew perpendicular to the surface of MBF, which boosted the nucleation ability on PBS crystallization and the strong interfacial interaction between PBS and silane-treated basalt fiber. Under isothermal crystallization kinetics, the incorporation of basalt fiber enhanced the crystallization rate and reduced the crystallization half-time values of composites compared with that of neat PBS due to a heterogeneous nucleation effect. Furthermore, tensile results confirmed that the presence of MBF could greatly improve the tensile strength and modulus. The predicted interfacial shear strength (IFSS) suggested that an enhancement of interfacial bonding could be realized via interfacial crystallization, which was also verified by SEM images. The PBS/MBF biocomposites can be applied in many fields as a low-cost, lightweight, and biodegradable composite material.
