“…[11][12][13][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. [17] This enhancement of durability characteristics broaden the scope for the application of basalt FRP composites.…”

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.

“…Best value was obtained for PBS with 3.58 kJ/m 2 . Basalt fibers contributed to improve impact strength of biocomposites because of high density, 29,30 but VTMS compatibilization was effectively improved basalt and PLA adhesion. Interestingly, silane compatibilization also significantly improved impact strength of hybrid variation (PBWS) 20% more than PBW.…”

In this study, basalt and/or beech wood fibers were treated with vinyltrimethoxysilane or compatibilized by maleic anhydride‐ grafted polypropylene (MAPP) to produce hybrid polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites. Twin‐screw extruder was used to produce biocomposites, following by a hot press to form samples. Physical and mechanical properties of composites that were produced from both treated and untreated fibers were compared. Chemical, morphological, and thermal analysis of biocomposites were analyzed with TGA, FTIR and SEM, respectively. The results showed that silane treated basalt/wood fiber reinforced PLA (PBWS) and silane treated basalt reinforced PLA (PBS) have significantly better flexural strength than neat PLA. Besides, basalt reinforced bio‐composites except PBW3 and PBWM variations have significantly superior impact strength than neat PLA. Utilization of compatibilizers also reduced thickness swelling and water uptake features of biocomposites. All the above experimental data showed that the utilization of silane compatibilizer has better impact on properties than MAPP for such wood/basalt hybrid composite.Highlights Hybrid biocomposites with wood and basalt fibers by using coupling agents were prepared for the first time. Hybridization of organic and inorganic fibers gave promising results. Silane and maleic anhydride compatibilization improves physical properties. Vinyltrimethoxy silane grafted basalt fiber improves flexural strength significantly. Silanization of wood or basalt fibers enhances significantly the impact strength.

“…Over the years, the use of more than one filler or hybrid filler in a polymer composite system has become trending research because it can provide greater opportunity to obtain improvement in the polymer composite properties. Many researchers have proved that the use of a combined filler has further improved the mechanical, thermal, and physical properties of the polymer composite [ 36 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. Often, the properties of the two fillers used as hybrid fillers are different and are able to have different effects on the polymer matrix used.…”

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.
