“…Modification are focused in many ways such as hybridization, z‐pinning, stitching and shortening the fibers. [ 11–14 ] One method, which gave greater scope to researchers to improve the properties of basalt FRP composites, is the addition of micro and nano particles as fillers along with basalt fiber reinforcement in polymer composites. [ 15,16 ] The addition of micro and nano fillers enhances the durability of polymer composite by providing more resistance to static and dynamic loads.…”

Basalt fiber reinforcement in polymer composites has recently become very competitive to the routinely used synthetic fiber reinforcements. In the present work, composite specimens were prepared with basalt fiber mat reinforcement in vinyl ester matrix along with varying quantity of the micro and nano silicon carbide (SiC) filler particle ranging from 1 to 5 wt% in combination. Tribological and water absorption properties of the developed hybrid composites were tested to ascertain its potential for commercial applications. The specimen made of SiC particle addictive combination of 3 wt% nano and 3 wt% micro particle exhibited better mechanical characteristics and this mechanical advantage declines beyond 3 wt% SiC filler addition due to agglomeration and poor dispersion of filler particles in the hybrid composite. The microstructural investigation done via scanning electron microscopy reveals the modes of failure, where better pullout resistance was displayed by the fiber bonding characteristics with the filler and vinyl ester matrix up to 3 wt% nano and 3 wt% micro SiC filler content. Similarly, the tribological characteristics of the composite specimen for the optimum filler content specimen were superior in comparison with other combinations. Moreover, the water absorption features of the developed hybrid composites were within the acceptable limits for marine and structural applications.

“…Static uniaxial compression test was performed on cylindrical UP‐MMT nano‐clay composite specimens using an Instron 600 kN universal testing machine as shown in Figure 3 with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. [ 24 ] At least three samples were tested for each case. Before testing, the diameter and length of the sample are measured to the nearest 0.01 mm at several points.…”

The effect of montmorillonite (MMT) nano-clay as reinforcement in unsaturated polyester resin (UP) matrix composite was investigated under compression loading to explore the impact of MMT nano-clay wt% in the compressive behavior of UP-MMT nano-clay composite. UP-MMT nano-clay composite samples were prepared with a varied filler content of 0.5 to 3 wt% using dualmixing methods, which are mechanical stirring and ultrasonic agitation.Static uniaxial compression tests were conducted using cylindrical-shaped samples to obtain the compressive behavior of the UP-MMT nano-clay composites. The results of experimentation record a considerable improvement in compressive characteristics of UP-MMT nano-clay composites compared to pure UP matrix. The UP-MMT nano-clay composite samples were viewed under transmission electron microscope (TEM) to know the dispersion of MMT nano-clay in the composites. The nano-platelets were well dispersed and intercalated in the UP-MMT nano-clay composite samples below 1 wt% MMT nano-clay loading. The optimum wt% of MMT nano-clay in the UP-MMT nano-clay composite for improved compressive stress at yield and modulus were noted as 0.60 and 0.61 wt% respectively. Moreover, a mathematical model using Halpin-Tsai-Jumahat equations was utilized to predict the compressive properties of UP-MMT nano-clay composites, which are in closer agreement with the experimental results.

Synthetic fibers as reinforcement in composites are inevitable in today's composite industry due to its exceptional mechanical properties. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of stacking sequence of carbon, glass and Kevlar bidirectional (0 /90 ) woven mat synthetic fibers reinforced in epoxy matrix composite with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles as filler material on mechanical and visco-elastic behavior of developed novel hybrid polymer matrix composites (HPMCs). Vacuum bag infusion method is adopted to manufacture the composite specimens by stacking carbon, glass and Kevlar fibers alternatively with six layers and six different stacking sequences and tested as per ASTM standards. Tensile, flexural, impact and hardness test is conducted to identify the composite specimen with maximum mechanical characteristics. The maximum tensile and flexural strength of 398.178 and 671.25 MPa respectively is seen for the composite with strong fibers such as carbon and glass stacked away from the neutral axis. Also, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of tensile and flexural failure specimen revealed the failure mechanisms of developed composite specimens. Moreover, the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed the visco-elastic behavior of developed composites with glass transition temperature (T g ) at 115 C. This study emphasizes the influence of stacking sequence on thermo-mechanical properties of the developed HPMC specimens and explores its potential for diverse applications.
