Abstract: Composite materials based on polysiloxane matrix reinforced by basalt fibres were prepared in laboratories of the IRSM ASCR. The composite samples were pyrolysed at 400 ÷ 750 °C after moulding and curing at 250 °C. Measurement of several mechanical characteristics (flexural strength, fracture toughness, impact strength, and measurement of elasticity) demonstrates a favourable influence of pyrolysis in comparison with the cured-only composite material. Fracture toughness was measured by chevron-notch technique …
