  Recent Developments in Hybrid and Nanostructured Basalt Fiber Composites: A Review of Mechanical and Processing Innovations

  By Rathinam V., Ganeshkumar A., Arul M., Dinesh S., Adinarayanan A., Ida G.

  Abstract: This review delivers a critical analysis of recent advancements in basalt fiber-reinforced hybrid composites (BFRHCs), emphasizing their transformative potential for advanced structural and high-performance applications. Basalt fibers, derived from volcanic rock, exhibit superior tensile strength, excellent thermal stability, and chemical resistance, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional glass and carbon fibers. Hybridization of basalt fibers with synthetic (e.g., carbon, glass) and natural fibers (e.g., flax, hemp) results in …
