“…The composites with 2 wt.% HNTs showed superior mechanical properties after six months of salty water immersion in comparison to unmodified basalt/epoxy composites. Additionally, epoxy resin modified with nanoclay (montmorillonite with dimethyl dialkyl amine) at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 wt.% was used for laminating woven basalt fiber fabrics [100]. A small addition of nanoclay particle into basalt-reinforced composites was the most efficient for damping and natural frequency.…”

Fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are used in various branches of industry because of their favorable strength and thermal properties, resistance to chemical and atmospheric conditions, as well as low specific gravity. This review discusses the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of hybrid epoxy composites that were reinforced with glass, carbon, and basalt fabric modified with powder filler. The modification of the epoxy matrix mainly leads to an improvement in its adhesion to the layers of reinforcing fibers in the form of laminate fabrics. Some commonly used epoxy matrix modifiers in powder form include carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoclay, silica, and natural fillers. Fiber fabric reinforcement can be unidirectional, multidirectional, biaxial, or have plain, twill, and satin weave, etc. Commonly used methods of laminating epoxy composites are hand lay-up process, resin transfer molding, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, and hot or cold pressing. The following review is a valuable source of information on multiscale epoxy composites due to the multitude of technological and material solutions.

“…Matadi Boumbimba et al [18] observed that the triblock copolymer additive increased the impact resistance of the glass fiber/epoxy composite structure. Some other additives used to improve the mechanical properties of epoxy resin are graphene, [23] carbon nanotube, [24] core-shell rubber, [25] silica, [26] clay, [27] alumina, [28] titania, [29] zirconia, [30] and boron carbide (B 4 C). [31][32][33] Boron carbide has been used in a wide range of fields such as military, nuclear reactors, grinding, and cutting tools due to its high hardness, neutron capture, and thermoelectric properties.…”

Sandwich structures with carbon fiber-epoxy face sheets and polyvinyl chloride foam core material are known for their high strength and flexural stiffness despite their low weight. However, the structural response, in terms of crush strength, of the particles added sandwich structures are not very well known under impact loading conditions. In this study, the impact resistance and damage characteristics of particle added low weight composite sandwich structures were investigated with a low-velocity drop weight impact test device. Boron carbide (B 4 C) particles, which had excellent hardness, thermoelectric, and radiation absorbing characteristics, were used as an additive for the epoxy matrix. For this purpose, 2%, 5%, and 10% by weight additives were mixed into the epoxy matrix and sandwich structures were produced with hand lay-up followed by vacuum bagging method. All configurations were subjected to low-velocity drop weight impact test at three different energy levels (10, 17.50, and 25 J). The results obtained from the experiments and the images of the post-impact damage of the sandwich structures were presented comparatively. According to the test results, configurations containing 10% boron carbide (B 4 C) additive has shown the best performance in terms of resistance to impact load.

“…Moreover, the superior dynamic performance of polymer-based composites widen their popularity for the structural applications such as space shuttles, aircrafts, marine vessels, vehicles, etc (Draiche et al 2014, Qatu et al 2010) that subjected to vibratory loads in service conditions. Although the plenty of researches related with mechanical and thermal properties of composite materials, comparatively limited studies devoted to their dynamic mechanical properties are found in the literature (Noor and Burton 1989, Bulut et al 2020, Huang and Tsai 2015, Murugan et al 2016, Bedon 2019, Duc et al 2017, Bhudolia et al 2017, Wang et al 2019, Özütok and Madenci 2013, Özütok et al 2014. Additionally, the different design parameters such as hybridization, stacking sequences of the composite materials has recently attracted the attention due to the their direct influences on mechanical properties of composite materials (Gemi 2018, Özbek and Bozkurt 2019, Doğan et al 2019.…”

The current work deals with an experimental investigation about the influence of cut-outs on dynamic characteristics of basalt/carbon hybrid fiber reinforced composite laminates. The composite samples have been fabricated via vacuum assisted resin transfer molding technique and cut-outs in the form of triangular, square and circular shapes with equal areas have been processed on them to systematically analyze the influences of cut-outs. The dynamic characteristics of the samples have been examined by conducting free vibration-damping tests and expressed in terms of natural frequency and damping ratio using the frequency response and time-acceleration response. The results show that the damping characteristics of the composite samples can be remarkably improved with the help of cut-outs which provide improvements approximately between 2.41% and 16.65% in damping ratio values. The maximum and minimum variations in damping ratio have observed for non-hybrid carbon fiber reinforced composite samples with triangular cut-out (T-C6) and hybrid basalt/carbon fiber reinforced composite samples with circular cut-out (C-B6), respectively. On the other hand, the presence of cutouts have led to decreases in natural frequency values as a result of reduction in stiffness caused by the cut-outs. This point out that employment of cut-outs can be a promising application to meet the natural frequency requirements of engineering systems constructed with hybrid fiber reinforced composite laminates.
