Erupting Kilauea volcano occasionally spurts volcanic gases and natural basalt fiber stretched out from the fountaining basalt lava.

This paper presents results of a study examining novel hybrid recycled polypropylene and polyamide 6 composites using a combination of basalt fibers (BF) and carbon fibers (CF) for potential use in automobile applications.

Dr Nikolay Ablesimov, professor, scientific advisor of Basalt Projects GC, was awarded the honorary title of a new scientific school founder.

Basalt fibers are one of the most interesting reinforcement which are being used in last few decades. The fibers are manufactured from basalt raw materials.

The Wilson badminton racket made from basalt fiber is recognized by advanced players. Wilson, a leading big tennis racket manufacturer, also supplies high-tech badminton rackets to the market.

The results of the investigation have proved that applying constructions using basalt fiber is highly promising for prosthetic dentistry practice.

Basalt fiber is filling increasingly more application niches owing to its properties while forcing out sometimes less strong glass fiber,sometimes more expensive carbon fiber.

In order to avoid any interfacial reactions in the basalt fiber reinforced metal matrix composites, the basalt fibers were coated with copper.

A unique communication platform awaits entrepreneurs, investors, scientists and developers from the composite industry, who are ready to overturn preconceptions about basalt fiber and its features in almost all applications.

The paper aims to evaluate the effect of different combinations of basalt fibres on the mechanical properties of concrete, as well as identify the best basalt fibre length and content that have the optimum influence on concrete.
