Abstract: Basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites are gaining significant attention as sustainable alternatives to traditional reinforcement materials due to their superior mechanical performance, thermal stability, and eco-friendliness. This study examines the tensile, flexural, impact, and viscoelastic properties of BFRP composites fabricated via vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) using varying fibre volume fractions (20%, 30%, and 40%) and fibre orientations (unidirectional and bidirectional). The results reveal that composites with 40% fibre …
