“…Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites are extremely strong, lightweight, rigid structural materials resistant to high temperatures, friction, and corrosion. Because of these unique properties, they are used at a large scale in aviation, the automotive industry (machine skeletons and shells), armaments (ballistic shielding), and electronics (shielding enclosures) [25,[50][51][52][53][54][55]. Tareq et al investigated the effect of adding nanoclay and graphene to the carbon-fabric-reinforced composite matrix.…”

Polymer fiber composites are increasingly being used in many industries, including the defense industry. However, for protective applications, in addition to high specific strength and stiffness, polymer composites are also required to have a high energy absorption capacity. To improve the performance of fiber-reinforced composites, many researchers have modified them using multiple methods, such as the introduction of nanofillers into the polymer matrix, the modification of fibers with nanofillers, the impregnation of fabrics using a shear thickening fluid (STF) or a shear thickening gel (STG), or a combination of these techniques. In addition, the physical structures of composites have been modified through reinforcement hybridization; the appropriate design of roving, weave, and cross-orientation of fabric layers; and the development of 3D structures. This review focuses on the effects of modifying composites on their impact energy absorption capacity and other mechanical properties. It highlights the technologies used and their effectiveness for the three main fiber types: glass, carbon, and aramid. In addition, basic design considerations related to fabric selection and orientation are indicated. Evaluation of the literature data showed that the highest energy absorption capacities are obtained by using an STF or STG and an appropriate fiber reinforcement structure, while modifications using nanomaterials allow other strength parameters to be improved, such as flexural strength, tensile strength, or shear strength.

“…The common procedures employed to recycle composites materials are oxidation in fluidized beds, chemical recycling and pyrolysis which is the preferred one. This technique requires to expose fiber to approximately 600 °C in an air atmosphere in order to obtain the complete removal of the thermoset char from fiber surface [88]. Considering the recycling conditions and the higher thermal stability of basalt, the employment of this type of fibers instead of glass ones as reinforcement in composites provides interesting advantages at the end of the component life cycle.…”

“…Even basalt fibers suffer a partial reduction of their mechanical performances at the end of the incineration process but the residual powder obtained can be successfully used as filler in new polymer composites [88,89]. In light of this, some studies focused on how to partially restore basalt mechanical strength after the lost caused by the high temperature exposure of the recycling process.…”

“…In this context, basalt fiber (BF), the cornerstone of basalt textiles, is a green, cost-effective, and high-performance inorganic silicate material derived from natural basalt, offering high tensile strength (2.5-fold greater than alloy steels), good high-temperature resistance (melting point of 1400 °C), low thermal conductivity (<0.038 W m –1 K –1 ), strong abrasion performance (Mohr’s hardness values near diamond), outstanding chemical resistance as well as against ultraviolet and high-energy electromagnetic radiation. − Although BF have been extensively employed as reinforcement materials in fields of transportation, building materials, and other fields , there is comparatively limited research dedicated to antimicrobial basalt textiles applied in extreme environments. Nevertheless, BF still needs to be subjected to additional surface functionalization to achieve practical antibacterial application. , To realize this, antibacterial nanomaterial-decorated textiles have been extensively researched, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOF), noble metal, and two-dimensional material. , Compared with other antibacterial materials, MOFs showed greater advantages because MOFs are highly tunable and their composition and structure can be flexibly adapted to specific needs .…”

Superstrength and high-performance textiles hold significant potential in the aviation industry, sporting goods, and extreme environment applications. In contrast, microorganisms that can survive on dry fabric surfaces for several months pose a threat to human health; thus, it is crucial to exploit antibacterial textiles. However, antimicrobial textiles prepared by incorporating functional elements onto the surface of the fabrics are vulnerable to degradation due to the peeling of the functional compounds after prolonged operation. Here, we present a facile approach to in situ grown zeolite imidazole framework 8 (ZIF-8) crystal particles on basalt fibers (BF) by solution impregnation method, in which the ZIF-8 is intensely grafted with the large number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of basalt fibers. The ZIF-8 in situ basalt fiber exhibits excellent antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, the stable and uniform distribution of ZIF-8 on the surface of basalt fibers endows the originally hydrophilic BF with excellent hydrophobicity. Simultaneously, the powerful coordination between ZIF-8 and BF provides ZIF-8 in situ grown basalt fiber with outstanding air/water retainability and remarkable mechanical robustness to satisfy the requirements of routine use and multiple laundering. ZIF-8 in situ grown basalt textiles produced with a highly scalable and low-cost method are promising for large-scale use in extreme environments.
