Review on effect of chemical, thermal, additive treatment on mechanical properties of basalt fiber and their composites

Abstract

Basalt fiber is emerging out the new reinforcing material for composites. To overcome some of the disadvantages of fibers such as poor bonding to polymers, low thermal stability and high moisture absorption fiber characteristics are modified with chemical, thermal and additive treatments. Chemical treatment corrosive resistance to alkali and acid were investigated which were used to clean and modify the surface of fiber for higher bonding with resins. To improve the thermal stability and reduce moisture uptake thermal treatment such as plasma and non thermal plasma were used which increased the surface roughness and change the chemical composition of surface of basalt fiber. Additive treatment is used to improve the mechanical properties of fibers, in basalt fiber additive treatment was done with SiO2 additive because of its chemical composition which contains major content of SiO2. In present investigation review on the effect of different treatment such as chemical, thermal and additive were studied. Effect of these treatment on chemical composition of the surface of basalt fiber and corrosion to acidic and alkali solution were studied with their effect on mechanical properties of basalt fiber and their composite.

The effects of aggressive environments on the mechanical properties of basalt plastics

“…An elemental analysis reveals an increase in the Na content by 0.7%, Al by 1.6%, Fe by 1.5%, Mg by 0.63%. Thus, it has been proved that the structure of silicon oxide is resistant to acids, and metal ions change places with hydrogen atoms and pass into an acid solution in accordance with the reaction [42].…”

“…Alkaline solutions have the greatest impact on the structure and properties of BF [9,10,18,23,24,27,33,42,45].…”

“…It has been shown in [27,33,42], that the main result of alkali impacts on BF is destruction of the SiO 2 lattice under the effects of hydroxyl groups in the surface layer causing leaching of potassium, aluminum, and sodium with an increase of the content of magnesium, iron, titanium, and calcium. Thus, the authors of [23] show an increase in the Na content from 4.5 to 10.8% on the surface of BF after their 3-hour boiling in NaOH solution.…”

Mechanical characterization and machining performance evaluation of rice husk/epoxy an agricultural waste based composite material

“…Rosa et al [13] also used rice husk our as reinforcement in same matrix material by melt extrusion process and concluded that there is decrease in tensile strength with increase in reinforcement. Many researchers used polyethylene matrix with rice husk and reported signi cant e ect of reinforcement on mechanical properties of composite material [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Epoxy resin and wood our based composite was developed and its tribological behavior was studied by Dwivedi et al [20] and analyzed that there are e ective increases in load carrying capacity and decrease in wear resistance of matrix material.…”

Effect of silane KH550 on interface of basalt fibers (BFs)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites

“…The broken basalt is added into a furnace and melted at 1450°C-1500°C, and then leaked from a platinumrhodium alloy wire drawing plate to form continuous filament [1][2][3][4][5]. BFs are eco-friendly fibers, which attract lots of attention from researchers and constructors because of their strong tensile strength, high elastic modulus, high abrasion strength, good temperature-resistance, excellent heat and sound insulation, good chemical stability and so on [6][7][8][9]. Therefore, BFs are called as a green industrial material in 21 st century.…”
