“…Basalt fibers, derived from naturally occurring volcanic rocks with finely grained fibers with widths ranging from 10 to 20 μm, have been investigated by Abhilash et al [ 12 ] for their favorable characteristics, including high heat conductivity, high elongation, and low density, although they also have relatively poor thermal conductivity and find various applications in textiles, insulation, and heat-resistant plates. Hybrid fiber-reinforced composites, which combine the benefits of multiple fibers, are a significant advancement over using individual fibers [ 13 ]. For example, pure ramie fibers have a tensile strength of 50–60 MPa but the tensile strength of basalt fibers is around 100 MPa.…”

In this study, the mechanical properties of basalt/ramie/polyester hybrid composite laminates were investigated. A matrix of 45% polyester was used, as it has good bonding properties between fibers. The composite laminates were fabricated using a hand layup technique, with seven layers stacked in different sequences and impregnated in the polyester matrix to create a hybrid configuration. Tensile, flexural, impact, compression, and hardness tests were conducted according to ASTM standards for mechanical characterization. The results showed that the overall stacking sequence of sample number seven (BRBRBRB) had the highest tensile strength at 120 MPa, impact energy at 8 J, flexural strength at 115 MPa, compression strength at 70 MPa, and hardness of 77. Natural fiber-reinforced composites are being used in current automotive industry applications, such as in electric vehicles.

“…These values were an indication of how the tensile strength of mineral‐based basalt fibers, which have low‐tensile strength with the formation of hybrid composite structures, can approach the value of carbon fibers with synthetic origin high‐tensile strength. In the investigation of Ramesh and Anand, [ 23 ] hybrid composites were obtained by using Kevlar and basalt fiber fabrics, and tensile strength was tested by changing the order of Kevlar and basalt fiber fabrics. It was understood that the samples with more layers of Kevlar fiber fabric than basalt fiber fabric showed higher tensile strength results.…”

“…The hybridization of natural and synthetic fibers provides a wide range of applications, both economically and ecologically. [23][24][25] Bandaru et al [26] tried to determine the ballistic performance of hybrid thermoplastic composite armors reinforced with Kevlar and basalt fabrics through experiments and simulations. The matrix structure they used was polypropylene, a film thermoplastic polymer produced in two different qualities.…”

Composite structures have become one of the most preferred materials in the automotive industry by being improved day by day with their high strength per weight performance as well as their lightness. Natural fiber reinforced composite structures have an important share among all composite forms with recent developments. In this study, composite products in which epoxy resin is the matrix element with different stacking orders were produced by vacuum assisted resin transfer method. Basalt fabric was hybridized with carbon fabric and aramid fabric and the effect of this hybridization on thermal properties, mechanical properties, and morphological effects were examined. The mechanical test results indicated the tensile strength of the basalt/carbon hybrid configuration composite structure gave %40.18 better results than the basalt/aramid hybrid configuration structure. In terms of microhardness, in basalt/carbon hybrid configuration %22.34 better results were obtained in comparison with basalt/aramid hybrid configuration. Moreover, thermal analysis results displayed hybrid samples increased the combustion initiation temperature compared to homogeneous samples. In addition, the dominance of carbon fabrics was observed in the determination of cold crystallization temperature in hybrid samples, while basalt materials were predominant in melting temperature. Results of the article displayed that the carbon fiber hybridization to basalt fabric will greatly improve the deformation resistance and heat resistance of the materials compared to the aramid fabric hybridization process.

“…The preliminary analysis was done, where the morphology structure was characterized using FESEM as shown in Figure 1(A) followed by EDAX result reveals the presence of chemical compositions shown in Figure 1(B), and Figure 1(C) shows the particle size was examined by Horiba Laser Scattering LA‐960, average distribution size of diameter 201 μm. The properties of reinforcement [ 3 ] and matrices [ 36 ] are shown in Table 1. Table 2 shows the chemical elements of Basalt fiber [ 3 ] and TSP.…”

The research article deals with the efficacy of turtle shell powder (TSP) as an attempt at a novel perspective vision, used as a filler material in the fabrication of basalt‐epoxy composites preparation for us as a first opportunity. The fiber reinforced polymer composite made of basalt‐epoxy matrix was fabricated by filling TSP powder with different weight percentage levels of 1%, 3%, and 5% by hand lay‐up process continued by a compression molding technique. In addition, the single laminate basalt fiber ply orientations were configured by symmetric‐quasi‐isotropic. Density, tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness tests were performed to analyze the composite strength and modulus. The morphological traits and TSP elemental composition were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and EDAX, respectively. Results elucidate that the incorporated TSP particle in basalt‐epoxy composite enhanced the mechanical properties. Overall compared with the B0 composite, the B3 composite exhibits the optimal result, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength increased by 98.4%, 68.9%, 70.73%, 53.12%, and 76.85% performance explicates, respectively, except hardness, which shows 43.5% higher in 5 wt% composite. The interfacial bonding of basalt‐epoxy composites has been improved by the TSP particle curtailed the microvoids. The basalt‐epoxy characteristics were adversely affected by TSP aggregation that occurred at 5 wt% laminate. The laminated composites are heavily bolstered by the performance of TSP particles and with the addition of ply orientation increased the strong interfacial bonding of TSP‐epoxy‐basalt interactions.
