“…Although the PE fibers exhibit a relatively low melting temperature of approximately 150 °C [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], which may limit the applicability of such textiles, the positive rate sensitivity of these fibers with regard to their tensile strength and Young’s modulus [ 18 , 19 ] represents a promising feature for applications involving dynamic loading. The targeted material design should account for the complex micro- and meso-mechanical interactions in these composites, for the pronounced rate sensitivity of SHCC [ 20 , 21 ], and for the textile reinforcement itself [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Textiles made of polymers such as aramid, poly, p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole (PBO), and polypropylene (PP) exhibit relatively large elongation capacities [ 22 ]. However, PP fibers exhibit relatively low tensile strength and Young’s modulus, while the durability of the aramid and PBO fibers in cementitious environments has still not been fully explored.…”

The paper at hand presents an investigation of the tensile behavior of high-strength, strain-hardening cement-based composites (HS-SHCC), reinforced with a single layer of continuous, two-dimensional textile made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Uniaxial tension tests were performed on the bare UHMWPE textiles, on plain HS-SHCC, and on the hybrid fiber-reinforced composites. The bond properties between the textile yarns and the surrounding composite were investigated in single-yarn pullout experiments. In order to assess the influence of bond strength between the yarn and HS-SHCC on the tensile behavior of the composites with hybrid fiber reinforcement, the textile samples were analyzed both with, and without, an additional coating of epoxy resin and sand. Compared to the composites reinforced with carbon yarns in previous studies by the authors, the high elongation capacity of the UHMWPE textile established the higher strain capacity of the hybrid fiber-reinforced composites, and showed superior energy absorption capacity up to failure. The UHMWPE textile limited the average crack width in comparison with that of plain HS-SHCC, but led to slightly larger crack widths when compared to equivalent composites reinforced with carbon textile, the reason for which was traced back to the lower Young’s modulus and the higher elongation capacity of the polymer textile.

“…The mechanical properties of unidirectional basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) are similar to, or better than E-glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP)-elongation and stress at break are comparable [1] while their Young's Modulus is higher by up to 35% [2]. BFRP is therefore believed to potentially bridge the gap between GFRP and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) [3]. Compared to glass fiber composites, BFRP combines stiffness and strength with good fatigue resistance and better energy absorption characteristics [1,2].…”

Mechanical Properties of a Unidirectional Basalt-Fiber/Epoxy Composite

High-performance composites based on basalt fibers are becoming increasingly available. However, in comparison to traditional composites containing glass or carbon fibers, their mechanical properties are currently less well known. In particular, this is the case for laminates consisting of unidirectional plies of continuous basalt fibers in an epoxy polymer matrix. Here, we report a full quasi-static characterization of the properties of such a material. To this end, we investigate tension, compression, and shear specimens, cut from quality autoclave-cured basalt composites. Our findings indicate that, in terms of strength and stiffness, unidirectional basalt fiber composites are comparable to, or better than epoxy composites made from E-glass fibers. At the same time, basalt fiber composites combine low manufacturing costs with good recycling properties and are therefore well suited to a number of engineering applications.

“…The increase in load may results in debris formation which gets adhered to the sliding surfaces and piles up to form a much thick layer with a more contact area that serves as lubricant at the sliding interface there by reducing the coefficient of friction [41,42]. This concept may be correlated to the thermal and mechanical property of fiber which protects the polymer matrix from the severe wear at elevated temperature [43][44][45]. At higher sliding velocities the coefficient of friction has no major variation, at the same time wear loss reduces with raise in load, this might be because of the increase in temperature resulting in adhesion of fiber with the sliding surface making the further material removal difficult there by reducing wear loss to a greater extent [23].…”

“…The drop in wear loss occurs as the load increases, this may be because of the ironing mechanism caused by friction-induced heat which makes material removal from the pin more difficult [23]. At medium and higher speeds with increasing load, it is found that there is significant drop in wear and is found to be minimal which can be attributed to the mechanical and thermal behavior of the hybrid fiber reinforced composite as well as the exposure of well entangled basalt and aramid fibers at the sliding interfaces [18,43,45,48]. Figure 8d represents the contour plot of the wear loss based on normal load and corresponding sliding velocity of HFRC specimen.…”

Fiber reinforcement in polymer matrix contribute significant role in improving mechanical and tribological behavior of any composite for friction application. Hence such composites are developed by selecting suitable matrix and reinforcement materials. In the present study three frictional composite materials were prepared by varying basalt fiber, aramid fiber and hybrid of both theses fibers. Namely Basalt Fiber reinforced composite (BFRC), Aramid Fiber reinforced composite (AFRC) and Hybrid of these fibers reinforced Composite (HFRC), with polyimide matrix. The other ingredients were mixed in constant proportions to enhance the frictional property of the composites and specimens were prepared using hot compression molding machine. The pin-on-disc testing was carried out with different loading condition of 20, 30 and 40 N and varying sliding velocities of 150, 200 and 250 rpm to understand the effect of these parameters on coefficient of friction and the wear rate of specimens. Based on results, contour were developed using Minitab software. HFRC shows the best tribological characteristics compared to BFRC and AFRC. The contact temperature is less for HFRC due to the good heat conduction by hybrid fibers. The thermal stability and the degradation of composites were study from Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) respectively. It is observed that HFRC has better thermal stability. The Scanning Electron Microscopy images shows better bonding of matrix and fiber for HFRC compared to other composites and various mechanisms were identified along the wear regime areas.
