“…Other main advantages of using mineral-based fillers are their non-toxicity and capability to enhance the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of the polymeric matrices [ 30 , 31 , 35 , 36 ]. As of now, kaolin, montmorillonite, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide (talc), and silica are widely employed as fillers in polymer composite systems [ 8 , 30 , 35 ]. Interestingly, the addition of a small amount of mineral filler can enhance several properties of a polymer.…”

“…It was proved that the use of 5% MMT as a filler greatly improved the mechanical properties and thermal barrier of polyamide 6 [ 7 ]. In another work, the addition of nano calcium carbonate and nanoclay to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) significantly improved the matrix’s elastic modulus and indentation modulus [ 8 ]. As opposed to the above-mentioned mineral fillers, dolomite has been used as a filler for polymer composite systems just in the past few years [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Polymers are being used in many applications all around the world. However, there are some drawbacks in the properties of polymers that could hamper their usage in certain applications. Therefore, a new material polymer composite was introduced. A polymer composite is a polymer-based material with the addition of a filler. Many researchers have reported the improvement in the properties of a polymer when a filler was introduced. This helps minimize the disadvantages of using a polymer. As a result, polymer composite products can be used in many industries, such as automobile, aerospace, biomedical, and packaging. Fillers derived from natural minerals, such as dolomite, are among the best reinforcement materials for polymeric materials because they are plentiful and low cost, have high rigidity and hardness, and even have tailorable surface chemistry. The use of dolomite as a filler in a polymer composite system has gained increasing attention in recent years after researchers successfully proved that it is capable of improving the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of various polymeric materials. However, chemical or physical treatment/modification of raw dolomite is needed in order to prepare it as an efficient reinforcing filler. This procedure helps to improve the performance of the resultant polymer composites. This article reviews the usage of dolomite as a filler in a variety of polymeric materials and how it improved the performance of the polymer composite materials. It also highlights several methods that have been used for the purpose dolomite’s treatment/modification. Furthermore, the role of dolomite as a co-filler or a hybrid filler in a polymer composite system is also discussed, revealing the great potential and prospect of this mineral filler in the field of polymer composites for advanced applications.

Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite pipe is an excellent alternative to glass and carbon fiber reinforced composite pipes in industry and promising in high recycling for polymer composite used in aerospace, marine, and automotive. To enhance the solid particle erosion (SPE) properties of filament‐wound BFRP composite pipe while preserving its mechanical properties, reinforced BFRP composite pipes were prepared to employ non‐functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) at a reinforcement concentration of 0.25 wt.% and ultrasonication mixing technique. The SPE behavior of GnPs reinforced and non‐reinforced BFRP composite pipes were characterized by axial and radial positioning of the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes. In each case, the erosion rates of these composite pipes were evaluated at five impingement angles (30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°) and an impact velocity of 34 m/s. The erosion response of both BFRP composite pipes' outer surfaces showed a semi‐ductile in the axial positioning, with a maximum erosion rate at a 60° impingement angle. However, these composite pipes' inner surfaces in the same positioning presented a maximum erosion rate at a 45° impingement angle. Besides, it is explored that the GnPs contribute to an improvement of approximately 10%–55% in erosive wear resistance of the non‐reinforced BFRP composite pipes. The damage analysis of eroded surfaces was examined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the GnPs effect upon composite pipes' erosion micromechanisms was presented and discussed in detail.Highlights GnPs increased the BFRP composite pipe's erosion resistance. Erosion rate on the inner surface increases due to particle accumulation. GnPs improved erosion behavior via solid lubrication and mechanical properties.

Elastomeric polymers such as high‐density polyethylene, have a variety of desirable features, that have supplanted traditional materials. However, high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) shows inadequate wear resistance, which limits its use for industrial applications, particularly in low‐load‐bearing applications such as flexible energy harvesting devices and sensors. The current work is engrossed in investigating the influence of hybrid reinforcements CaCO3 particles and bentonite nano clay as secondary reinforcements in high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)‐based composites on the wear and friction properties. The reinforcements were melt compounded with HDPE using a Brabender mixer and sampled using an injection molding machine. The wear test (ASTM G‐99‐04) was performed by a pin‐on‐disk tribo‐tester. In comparison to a base matrix, the synthesized hybrid composite achieved the maximum improvement in wear rate of 93%. The results revealed that there is a significant improvement in wear resistance. Morphological analysis revealed that due to the encapsulation and compatibilization effect of bentonite nano clay the hybrid composite exhibited improved wear performance. The results signify the synergistic effect of filler particles resulted in sufficient bonding for stress transfer due to the encapsulation of CaCO3 by nano clay. The wear mechanism observed optically was abrasion, fatigue, and adhesion wear that changed with the change in the weight percent of nanoparticles. Finally, the prepared composite with enhanced tribological properties such as low wear rate, low friction coefficient, and enhanced morphology can be used in low load‐bearing wear applications such as turbo nanogenerators and piezo nanogenerators.Highlights Bentonite nano clay and CaCO3 dispersed homogeneously in HDPE matrix. Wear resistance of HDPE increases by reinforcing particles (nano‐clay and CaCO3). Micro‐cutting, deformations, and particle husks were the possible wear mechanism. Encapsulation effects the hybrid composite to exhibit improved wear performance.
