Preparation, Thermal Analysis, and Mechanical Properties of Basalt Fiber/Epoxy Composites.

In this study, basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites with epoxy matrix, 20 layers, and volume fraction of fibers = 53.66%, were prepared by a hand lay-up compression molding combined method. The fabric of the basalt fibers is in twill 2/2 weave.
