Mechanical and thermal properties of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites modified with CaCO₃ nanoparticles

Abstract

In this study, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) nanoparticles were added to basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (BFRP) composites in varied weight fractions to examine their effects on the materials' mechanical, thermal, and physical properties. Through magnetic stirring and sonication, the epoxy matrix was altered with various weight fractions of CaCO 3 nanoparticles (0%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 1%, and 1.5%). It has been found that adding 1 wt% of nanoparticles to the matrix

Vibration behavior of a carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composite sandwich panel: Rhombus core versus elliptical core

“…Simultaneously, the hardener W340 is added to the composite with a ratio of 100/14. [35][36][37] At this time, the carbon fibers is put in a vacuum bag, which is shown in Figure 1, and then, by making partial vacuum in the bag, from inside the tube, the resin epoxy has passed through the mold so that the vacuum bag is filled constantly. The fabricated laminates comprise 14 layers of epoxy resin carbon fiber.…”

Improvement in alkali‐resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced polymer by Ti3C2TX (MXene) modified matrix

“…Incorporating micro‐ and nano‐scale fillers into the matrix is the most often used modified technique for the synthesis of high‐performance FRP composites with a particular structure. [ 4,6,11,12 ] In the past few decades, atomic thin nanosheets, also known as two‐dimensional (2D) materials, [ 13,14 ] have been extensively investigated to produce multifunctional polymer nanocomposites considering their special inherent natures, such as plane structure, high specific surface area, and high mechanical strength. [ 15–18 ]…”

[15][16][17][18] MXenes (M n + 1 X n T x , where M is a transition metal, X is carbon or nitrogen, n is 1, 2, or 3, and T x denotes surface functional groups) are a newly developed family of 2D laminated transition metal carbides/ nitrides.…”

Thermal and mechanical characterization of polypropylene/basalt fiber/ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber hybrid composite

“…Basalt fibers were also reinforced with some of the other polymers like nylon 6 [10], Nylon 6/High density polyethylene [7], Poly lactic acid [2,14], cellulose acetate [1] and epoxy [25]. Qian et al [26] studied the mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced ethyl cellulose and poly(dimethyl siloxane) Composites as workable in civil construction applications.…”
