Comparative Study on Different Properties of Various Basalt Fibre and Its Composites: A Review

Abstract

A high-tech fibre product without environmental pollution, basalt fibre is green, healthful, and environmentally friendly. BF (basalt fiber) has an excellent temperature resistance, high mechanical strength, low energy consumption and good chemical stability. This paper review the method used to manufacture basalt fibre, physical property of BF, mechanical properties, and thermal properties. Based on the reviews, basalt fibre is better to carbon, glass, and aramid fibres in terms of mechanical properties, sound insulation performance, and non-conduciveness. Based on the above qualities, adding basalt fibre to a substrate can enhance the material's properties. In the field of heat and sound insulation, basalt fiber and its composites can produce high- and low-temperature protective clothing and materials for sound insulation. Finally, this review showed some ideas that should be investigated in this area as well as possible areas for future research.
