In recent year's composite materials are playing prominent role in various application and also these materials have a better capability of improving basic human living standards, these materials are forming a symbol of progress in new technology and these materials are considered as pillar of modern science and technology. Basalt fiber is a relative new comer to fiber reinforced polymer and structural composites. Jute is a natural fiber. In this project both basalt and jute fibers are considered. This work investigates impact properties of composites prepared by using eight plies of basalt fiber and also basalt and jute (hybrid) in polyester matrix. The composite laminates were prepared using compression molding with varying thickness by taking into account 2mm and 3mm basalt fiber, basalt & jute fiber (hybrid) in polyester matrix. The specimens were prepared and fabricated according to ASTM standards for polymer composites. The results of varying thickness were studied based on the impact properties for basalt fiber, basalt & jute fiber (hybrid) and compatibility is achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
