Abstract

There is a growing demand emerging from industries towards usage of composite materials. Remarkable properties of basalt fibre reinforced polymer composites are being tailored for its application in various fields. Effect of epoxy/basalt fibre with nano and microparticles as filler has been studied in this work. Owing to easier manufacturing process, low cost and exceptional properties, basalt fibre finds its wider usage. Nano graphene platelets are added as filler to epoxy resin to enhance physical and mechanical properties of matrix. Synergistic effect of zinc borate with alumina trihydrate has also made them to incorporate with the resin as a flame retardant. Influence of nano titanium dioxide with graphene platelet nanopowder as reinforcement in basalt fibre-epoxy composite was also determined by appropriate tests. Mechanical properties such as tensile and flexure strength were investigated in accordance with ASTM standards. SEM image of failure pattern is also studied.
