Constituent Elements

Composite materials have significant role in automobile and aerospace applications because of their attractive mechanical properties compared. This fascinating properties attracted several industries especially automotive sectors. In contrast to metallic alloys, composite materials composed of individual constituent elements with distinguishable interfaces and chemical identities, however, when combined e-glass and basalt fiber, they will produce superior properties. The fundamental advantage of composite materials is their high specific strength and specific stiffness, which emphasis on its weight saving potential in the finished part. Two principal constituent elements of composites are matrix and reinforcement materials. In the present work, an attempt has been made to understand the advancements achieved in the combination of e-glass fiber and basalt fiber composites. Based on the comprehensive literature review, it is observed that broad work was done on the manufacturing techniques and characterization of the composites, however, limited works were carried out in analyzing the tensile, flexural and shear strength properties of differently oriented fibers in the laminated composites. In this paper, focus was given in fabricating and characterizing the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates with different fiber orientations, thereby, examining the mechanical properties of prepared laminates for tensile and bending strengths.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites became more attractive due to their light weight, high specific strength, biodegradability. However, some limitations e.g. low modulus, poor moisture resistance were reported. The mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced composites can be improved by hybridization with synthetic fibers such as glass fiber. In this research, mechanical properties of short sisal-PP composites and short sisal/glass fiber hybrid composites were studied. Polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the compatibility between the fibers and polypropylene. Effect of weight ratio of sisal and glass fiber at 30 % by weight on the mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. Morphology of fracture surface of each composite was also observed.

The Impact

Abstract The aim of this paper was to analyze how different techniques of production of fibrous composite materials affect the quality and strength properties of composite laminates. In this study, we use experimental data concerning a composite fabricated with the by hand lay-up and vacuum bagging method. The composites have a polyester matrix (Firestop 8175-w-1) reinforced with mate-glass fiber fabric [0/90/0/90] E glass fiber, respectively. The process parameters and criteria were determined before the samples were cut, namely the amount and soaking time of the composite with the polymer resin.

In recent years, the development of multi blended mix concrete has gained attention due to its multiple advantages and environmental friendliness. This paper has attempted to examine mechanical properties of Multi blended concrete of M30 grade made with micro silica and basalt fibers. To reduce the deleterious effects of the production of cement on the environment, concrete is being developed by substituting admixtures like GGBS and Fly Ash in place of cement. Multi blended concrete developed with Fly ash and GGBS showed depletion in the mechanical properties. Micro silica & Basalt fibers were added to this mix additionally to overcome this deficiency. Initially four series of mixes of multi blended concrete were developed with a composition of Fly ash 20% and GGBS 30%, 40%, 50% & 60% as replacement of cement. For better performance, micro silica at 5% by weight of cement and Basalt fibers at 0.2% by volume of concrete were added. The mechanical properties such as Split tensile & Compressive strengths were studied at the age of 7 & 28 days. The results showed that M30 grade multi blended concrete can be achieved with 30% GGBS, 20% fly ash, 5% micro silica, 0.2% basalt fibers.

Fluorine rubber has excellent performance, such as cold resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance thermal properties and so on. However, fluorine rubber is poor in the mechanical properties. In order to improve its availability of fluorine rubber, short basalt fiber/ fluorine rubber composite materials were prepared by using short basalt fiber as reinforcement, and its mechanical properties and compatibility were studied. The influence of the surface treatment on short basalt fibers, short basalt fiber content on the mechanical properties of short basalt fiber reinforced fluorine rubber composites were studied. The best formulation of short basalt fiber/ fluorine rubber composite materials were determined by testing Shore A hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break. The results show that the formula obtained best mechanical properties is 100 phr fluorine rubber, 10 phr short basalt fiber, and 2.5 phr KH-550. And further demonstrate that compatibility of short basalt fiber / fluorine rubber with KH550 is best by SEM and IR analysis. And prepare excellent performance of fluorine rubber composite materials.

Polymer composite reinforced with fiber materials have always proven its superior significant enactment over numerous traditional materials, considering their incomparable strength to weight ratio and stiffness. Carbon nanotubes usage in glass-fiber reinforced polymer has high potential in changing the characteristics of composite laminates. Carbon nanotubes have engrossed composite fraternity in exploring the opportunity of utilizing them as a supplementary reinforcement in fiber reinforced polymer composites. This study examines the mechanical characters of glass-fiber reinforced polymer with and without multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Composite laminated layers are fabricated using epoxy resin without carbon nanotube and with 0.5 and 1.5 % MWCNT. The materials were tested to determine tensile, flexural and compression properties. It is observed that the carbon nanotubes can enhance the mechanical properties in the composite laminates. Composite laminate with 1.5 wt % MWCNT exhibited good mechanical properties compared to that with 0.5 wt % MWCNT and without MWCNT.
