An economical and industrial consideration is that the process to produce chopped strand mat is simpler and cheaper than that needed to produce woven fabrics.

Technological data of production of multilayer roll roofing material on the base of polyethylene film and basalt fabric, isolating and road coverings

For all of FRP composites strengths, versatility is its greatest asset creating infinite possible solutions to improve quality, provide safety, and increase performance.

Basalt is an emerging material, whose use is increasing in constructions and civil applications as an alter-native to glass, carbon or aramidic fibers.

This paper describes the strategy of improving the Mechanical Properties of timber and other wood-based glulam structures. This is achieved by bonding Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) composites to structural substrate externally.

An adequate number of laboratory and bench-scale tests to evaluate the feasibility of using basalt fiber as concrete reinforcement have been performed and relative advantages evaluated.

With the growing adoption of composite materials, new matrix and reinforcement materials have been  entering  the market at an ever  growing rate. These new materials have to be thoroughly tested  in  order  to  determine  its  mechanical  properties  and  possible  applications.

Nowadays, there is a growing interest for the use and development of materials synthesized fromrenewable sources in the polymer composites manufacturing industry; this applies for both matrix and reinforcement components. In the present research, a novel basalt fibre reinforced (BFR) bioepoxy green composite is proposed as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-derived composites.

Timber gridshells have become a very popular, efficient, sustainable and beautiful structural application of  timber. However, given the slender laths involved in this form of construction, there is concern over the durability of timber for this purpose, and Glass FRP (GFRP) laths have been proposed as a possible substitution. This paper considers this possibility.

This study investigated the mechanisms, using microscopy and strength testing approaches, by which the addition of maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene (MAPE) enhances the mechanical properties of basalt fiber-wood-plastic composites (BF-WPCs).
