The presented data indicate that basalt has potential for replacing E-glass in several composites, especially when resistance to extreme conditions is required. However extra research may be needed e.g. on the adhesion with different resins.

Composites are emerging as realistic alternatives to the metal alloys in many applications like automobiles, marine, aerospace applications, sports goods, etc. Fiber composites offer many advantages such as low specific gravity, tensile strength and modulus, compressive strength and modulus, better fatigue strength, etc.

In this paper, to study the behaviour of RC beam structures strengthened by using basalt chopped strands fiber concrete.For this research work, Total 8 nos. of beams can be taken.

In this study, the strain rate effect on the bending properties of fiber reinforced composites for three types of polymer composites namely phenolic resin reinforced by woven basalt fibers, woven carbon fibers, and woven basalt/ woven carbon fibers at a total volume fraction of approximately 35% has been determined.

In order to evaluate the changes in the flexural properties of three types polymer-matrix composites (phenolic resin reinforced with woven basalt and carbon fibers at a total volume fraction of approximately 35%) affected by transient thermal conditions, mechanical tests were performed to specimens, which have previously been subjected to a certain number of thermal shock cycles.

The applicability of basalt fibers as reinforcing materials has been examined in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. The brittle basalt fibers have been mixed with the PP fibers by carding combined with needle punching and the composite sheets have been produced by pressing.

This paper is review of state of art of knowledge of basalt fiber, the production methods and review of tests on basalt fiber as a strengthening material for concrete structures. There are several types of basalt fiber strengthening meth odds used to strengthen concrete. In this paper three types are mentioned: External strengthening, fiber matrixes, and rod type material.

The relationship between properties of BF-WPC and the content of BF were studied, when wood-plastics composite (WPC) was reinforced by 12 mm and 3 mm short basalt fiber (SBF). The results showed that there may have some uneven distributions of SBF in WPC, when the content of 12 mm BF exceeded 30%.

Scientific and technological progress is closely linked to the development of the chemical industry in the country. The creation of new polymer composites, inexpensive cost and with high exploitation properties that are not inferior to foreign analogues, and in some cases exceeding them, is one of the priority directions of economic development of the country.

The report “Basalt Fiber Market by Usage Type (Composites And Non-Composites), by Application (Building & Construction, Transportation, Wind Energy, Electronics, Marine, And Others), and by Region – Global Trends and Forecasts to 2020” defines and segments the basalt fiber market with an analysis and forecast of the volumes and values of types i.e. continuous and discrete individually.
