“…However, the hybrid composite still portrayed a lower performance as compared to the plain BFRP and GFRP composites [ 23 ]. Most of the studies reported that lamination between the basalt and glass fibers could offer a lower mechanical property as compared with the plain basalt or glass composite laminates [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Bozkurt et al [ 24 ] evaluated the influence of the woven basalt fiber with an E-glass fabric reinforced with epoxy resin using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding.…”

“…By increasing the basalt fiber content in all the hybrid composite samples, considerable deteriorations in tensile strength and modulus were observed. In addition, Abd El-Baky et al [ 25 ] mentioned that the tensile characteristics of BGRP composites were inferior compared to GFRP laminates. The authors advised that increasing the G-fiber content enhances the mechanical behavior.…”

This study investigates the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of basalt/woven glass fiber reinforced polymer (BGRP) hybrid polyester composites. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to explore the chemical aspect, whereas the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) were performed to determine the mechanical and thermal properties. The dynamic mechanical properties were evaluated in terms of the storage modulus, loss modulus, and damping factor. The FTIR results showed that incorporating single and hybrid fibers in the matrix did not change the chemical properties. The DMA findings revealed that the B7.5/G22.5 composite with 7.5 wt% of basalt fiber (B) and 22.5 wt% of glass fiber (G) exhibited the highest elastic and viscous properties, as it exhibited the higher storage modulus (8.04 × 109 MPa) and loss modulus (1.32 × 109 MPa) compared to the other samples. All the reinforced composites had better damping behavior than the neat matrix, but no further enhancement was obtained upon hybridization. The analysis also revealed that the B22.5/G7.5 composite with 22.5 wt% of basalt fiber and 7.5 wt% of glass fiber had the highest Tg at 70.80 °C, and increased by 15 °C compared to the neat matrix. TMA data suggested that the reinforced composites had relatively low dimensional stabilities than the neat matrix, particularly between 50 to 80 °C. Overall, the hybridization of basalt and glass fibers in unsaturated polyester formed composites with higher mechanical and thermal properties than single reinforced composites.

“…ese natural fillers have several advantages, such as their renewability, biodegradability, recyclability, low density, low cost, good thermal and acoustic insulation, and acceptable specific mechanical properties [18][19][20]. Despite the advantages of natural fibers, they exhibit some drawbacks, such as large variability, lower mechanical properties, lower impact resistance, and poor moisture resistance compared with synthetic fibers [20]. However, the major drawbacks of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRPCs) are the incompatibility between the hydrophilic natural fiber and hydrophobic polymer leading to the formation of narrow and weak interphase.…”

Sawdust is a natural composite obtained from natural resources such as shrubs and trees and in a large amount from the wood industry as a waste. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical and water absorption properties of alkaline-treated wood sawdust-reinforced polypropylene composite. The composites were manufactured by the melt-mixing method followed by compression molding with amounts of wood sawdust ranging from 10, 20, 30, and 40 to 50 wt. % by volume. The produced composites were characterized for their mechanical and water absorption characteristics. The results indicated that increasing the amount of wood sawdust content up to 40% improves the tensile, flexural, impact, and compressive strength of the composites but after the wood sawdust contents reach 40%, the mechanical properties of the composite were decreased. Water absorption rate has increased with an increase in the wood sawdust proportion; this is due to the presence of –OH groups on the surface of wood particles. From the result of this study, it can be also concluded that the optimal mechanical and water absorption properties were attained at 40% wood sawdust content. Therefore, sawdust can be used as filler and reinforcement in the PP matrix, which will reduce cost and give environmental benefits.

The mechanical properties of industrial plexiglas (polymethylmethacrylate) of various sizes (lengths, widths) have been studied when tested for plane straight bending with one concentrated force in the middle of the sample. By a result of the experimental work, the relationship between deformation and stress was obtained. It is clearly shown in the work that the experimental curves substantially depend on the parameters of the starting materials and are satisfactorily described by a linear model. The slope of tangent (α) for the curves ranges from 0,32 to 0,62 %MPa -1 . The dependence of a α on the length and width of the samples changes significantly. Moreover, the maximum deformation varies in the range of 50 -60 %, which confirms the dependence of the deformation properties of the material on horizontal components, in particular, on the length of the sample. The tensile strength of the material also differs between specimens of different sizes.
