“…[1][2][3][4][5] Natural fibers exhibit properties similar to those of synthetic fibers made by humans, despite being low cost and low in density. 6,7 Natural fiber reinforced composites are utilized in different automobile parts like car dashboards, door panels, door handles etc. The incorporation of bio fibers has proven to be a viable substitute for traditional materials including metals, nonmetals and synthetic fibers like glass and carbon fibers.…”

“…23 Due to its non-toxic, eco-friendly, and cost-effective nature compared to other fibers, basalt fiber (BF) has received considerable focus as a reinforcement material in construction industry. 7,24 The chemical and mechanical characteristics, as well as the cost of BF, are influenced by the configuration of the raw material. The primary oxides present in Basalt fiber are SiO 2 (44-47 wt.%), Al 2 O 3 (11-13 wt.%), CaO (10-12 wt.%), and MgO (8-11 wt.%), while other oxides constitute less than 5 wt.%.…”

This study emphasize on the fabrication and testing of Grewia optiva/Basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites for use in internal applications of automobiles and aircraft. The study investigates the use of Grewia optiva fiber (local plant based fiber) with Basalt fiber, where chopped Basalt fiber (6, 9, and 12 mm) is reinforced in polyester matrix in combination with Grewia optiva fiber. Composite test specimen are fabricated and analyzed using a smart actuation system to evaluate the free vibrational behavior of the composites experimentally. The impact of various parameters including length of the fiber and its weight percentage on the free vibrational behavior of composites is determined. The percentage of individual reinforced fiber is varied (0, 4, 8, and 12 wt.%) maintaining fiber weight % constant, that is, 12 wt.% of composite. The experimental results help to identify the variations in natural frequencies of Basalt/Grewia optiva fiber based composites. B12/GO0 demonstrate the natural frequency of 67 Hz and 44.71 MPa tensile strength for 12 mm fiber reinforced composites. The finding from this experimental work provide insights into the potential applications of Basalt/Grewia optiva fiber reinforced composites for automobile and air craft industries.

“…Natural fibers are easily available, low in cost, environment friendly, nontoxic and biodegradable in nature, hence they are increasingly used as a reinforcement material in various industrial applications 1–6 . Although natural fiber do not have equivalent strength as that of synthetic fiber (carbon and glass), so to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the composite hybridization method is used 7,8 . Natural fibers are suitable as a reinforcement material in various polymer and gives improved mechanical properties.…”

This research paper investigated the hardness and tribological performance of novel Grewia optiva/Basalt fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites. Two different configuration of hybrid composite that is, woven and chopped fiber reinforced composite are considered for the study. The chopped fiber configuration of the composite is further divided into two types based on fiber length and wt%. The fiber lengths studied are 6 and 12 mm while the wt% studied are 0, 6, and 12 wt%. Woven fiber reinforced composite is divided into five configurations based on wt% of G. optiva fiber with 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 wt%. In all configurations, maximum fiber content of 12 wt% is maintained. B6/GO6 composite exhibits minimum specific wear rate and maximum hardness among all the compositions. Wear experimental results are analyzed by Taguchi optimization technique and based on the five levels and four control factors (sliding velocity, fiber loading, sliding distance, and normal load) L25 partial orthogonal array was suggested for the woven fiber reinforced composites. Fiber content is the main control parameter for hardness testing and L9 orthogonal array was suggested according to four control factors and three levels.

“…Basalt fiber is referred to as lower priced and more environmentally friendly compared to carbon fibers, with both the absence of resource problems and the originality of the production process, as it is obtained from basaltic volcanic rocks. While basalt fiber is used to reinforce thermoset polymers such as epoxy and polyester, it shows good adherence with various polymer matrices [7][8]. With its various properties, basalt fibers are used in many areas as friction and wear materials in automobiles, corrosion resistance material in the chemical industry, and reinforcement material in the construction sector.…”

In this research, the effect of different matrix materials (epoxy and vinylester) on the mechanical properties of Basalt, Jute, and Glass fiber-based hybrid composites were analyzed mechanically and morphologically. The mechanical test results were achieved by the Tensile test and Vickers hardness test, while morphologic images were obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Basalt fiber fabric, Jute fiber fabric, and Glass fiber fabrics of 86 gr/m² and 100 gr/m² were used as reinforcement elements, while epoxy and vinylester were utilized as matrix materials. A vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method was used as the production technique. In the results, it is given how the use of different reinforcement element types and different matrix materials affects the mechanical properties of the produced composite samples. Results show that the tensile strength of basalt fiber/glass fiber (100 gr/m²) reinforced with epoxy is the highest in all of the produced composites. In terms of microhardness, the hardness value of basalt fiber/glass fiber (100 gr/m²) reinforced epoxy composites have 1.39 times higher than basalt/glass fiber (100 gr/m²) reinforced vinylester composites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was utilized to examine the fiber rupture and fracture mode in hybrid composites. As a result of the analysis, also it was observed SEM results support the mechanical test results.
