Overview

Demonstrates performance improvements in epoxy composites using industrial waste fillers, suggesting sustainable material options.

Key Points

  • The research aims to improve the mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites using industrial waste fillers.
  • Fabrication of NaOH-treated basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites via hand lay-up and autoclave curing.
  • Development of four hybrid-filler formulations with varying proportions of fly ash and marble dust.
  • Characterization through void content, water absorption, hardness, tensile, compression, flexural, and impact testing, alongside SEM evaluation of fracture mechanisms.
  • The composite with 8 wt.% fly ash and 4 wt.% marble dust showed the best performance.
  • Enhanced tensile strength by 18%, compressive strength by 13%, flexural strength by 19%, and impact strength by 18% compared to single-filler systems.
  • NaOH treatment improved fiber-matrix adhesion and reduced void content.
