Abstract:Background:
The objective of this research is to evaluate the tensile, impact and flexural
properties of flax fiber and basalt powder filled polyester composite. Flax fiber is one of the
predominant reinforcement natural fiber which possess good mechanical properties and addition
of basalt powder as a filler provides additional support to the composite.
Methods:
The Composites are prepared using flax fiber arranged in 10 layers with varying weight percentage
of the basalt powder as 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, … Show more
