“…The shift of these drops towards higher temperatures can be ascribed to basalt fibers which are not sensitive to thermal degradation in this temperature range. In particular, the inert nature of basalt allows us to improve composite thermal stability, as already proved by Adole et al [28] for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and by Wang et al [29] for polypropylene (PP). Finally, both composites display a relevant mass loss of almost 18% at around 355 • C due to the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose of flax fibers.…”

The automotive sector covers almost 40% of polyamide (PA) total demand. A suitable solution to improve the sustainability of this sector is the exploitation of PA matrices sourced from renewable origins, such as PA11, and their reinforcement with natural fibers such as vegetable flax and mineral basalt. A preliminary study on the quasi-static properties of PA11-based composites reinforced with an intraply flax/basalt hybrid fabric demonstrated their feasibility for semi-structural purposes in the transportation field, but their application needs to be validated against dynamic loading. In this regard, this work investigated the low-velocity impact performance of PA11 flax/basalt hybrid composites (10 J, 20 J and 30 J) as a function of temperature (room temperature and +80 °C) and plasticizer addition (butyl-benzene-sulfonamide). The results proved that plasticized PA11 is endowed with a lower glass transition temperature (~15 °C, from DMA) and melting temperature (~10 °C, from DSC), which simplifies manufacturing and processing, but also possesses a higher toughness which delays penetration phenomena and reduces permanent indentation at room temperature between 20.5% and 42.8% depending on impact energy. The occurrence of matrix plasticization at +80 °C caused a more flexible and tougher response from the laminates with a decrease in linear stiffness and a delay in penetration phenomena which made the plasticizer effect less prominent.

“…Continuous basalt fiber (CBF) is a new inorganic fiber material [8]. It has the advantages of natural raw materials, high comprehensive performance, low cost, and better compatibility with concrete [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Compared with continuous fibers such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and aramid fiber, it has better physical and mechanical properties.…”

The continuous basalt fiber-reinforced polymer column filled with concrete (BFRPC composite column) can well resist the erosion of the external environment, improve the durability of the structure, and reduce the life-cycle cost of the project. To evaluate the mechanical behaviors of the BFRPC composite column under cyclic lateral loading, laboratory low-cycle reverse loading tests were implemented on a BFRPC composite column specimen, a prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) tube column specimen, and a prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) tube column specimen. The failure features, hysteretic curve, and skeleton curve for these three types of column specimens were compared and analyzed through the load–displacement hysteretic curve. The results indicated that the BFRPC composite column possesses the better bearing capacity and deformation performance. The horizontal bearing capacity of the BFRPC composite column is at least three times better than that of PHC and PRC tube columns. Finally, the functional expression of the skeleton curves for the BFRPC composite column is fitted by the rational function fitting method.

“…This forces the use of more efficient reinforcement systems, usually based on glass fibers. For the presented study, basalt fibers were used, which, in addition to more sustainable manufacturing methods, are also characterized by higher thermal resistance than standard E-glass fibers [ 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

A new type of partially biobased reinforcing filler system was developed in order to be used as a flame retardant for polylactic acid (PLA) and polypropylene (PP)-based composites. The prepared materials intended for injection technique processing were melt blended using the novel system containing ammonium polyphosphate (EX), biocarbon (BC), and basalt fibers (BF). All of the prepared samples were subjected to a detailed analysis. The main criterion was the flammability of composites. For PLA-based composites, the flammability was significantly reduced, up to V-0 class. The properties of PLA/EX/BC and PLA/EX/(BC-BF) composites were characterized by their improved mechanical properties. The conducted analysis indicates that the key factor supporting the effectiveness of EX flame retardants is the addition of BC, while the use of BF alone increases the flammability of the samples to the reference level. The results indicate that the developed materials can be easily applied in industrial practice as effective and sustainable flame retardants.
