This paper aims to investigate the effect of the polypropylene fibre (PP) and basalt fibre (BF), singly or in hybridization, on the workability, mechanical, chloride resistance and pore structure characteristics of concrete. Sixteen mixtures consisting of PP and BF, both at volume content of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%, were fabricated, and the slump, compressive, splitting tensile, flexural and charge passed were tested. The results show the hybridization of the PP and BF can improve three types of strength of concrete in comparison to their single fibre. Nevertheless, the hybridization is not always conducive, and the synergy of fibres is proposed and divided into positive and negative effects. The combination of the PP and BF both at content of 0.1% achieves the best mechanical performance, and is recommended for practical usage. Incorporating fibres reduces the chloride resistance of concrete, and the hybridization is helpless to this phenomenon; even the reduction is intensified at a highly hybrid fibre volume. However, increasing the curing age can mitigate this adverse effect caused by fibres. Furthermore, the microstructures were explored to elucidate the macro-properties of concrete in terms of interface and pore structure.

This study aims to develop and determine mechanical properties chopped basalt fibre reinforced composites (CBFRP) modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT). Chopped basalt composite modified with CNT was fabricated using a combination of mechanical stirring and hand layup process. Three different weight percentages of CNT i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5wt. % were filled into epoxy resin before mixing with chopped basalt fiber. The mechanical performance namely tensile properties and fracture toughness behaviour of the fabricated chopped basalt composites was assessed using Universal Testing Machine in accordance to ASTM standard D368 and D695, respectively. The results showed that the incorporation of CNT enhanced tensile and fracture toughness properties of the CBFRP composites. However, a higher amount of CNT (1.5wt%) incorporated into the CBFRP caused reduction in tensile strength, tensile modulus and Gic by 4.40%, 2.46% and 30.36 %, respectively, as compared to those of 1.0CNT-CBFRP

Novel Approach

The composites based on basalt fibres and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) show promising applications in biomedical and automotive fields, but their mechanical performance is still largely hindered by poor interfacial properties. Zinc oxide nanorods have been successfully used to tune the PLA/basalt fibre interface by growing them on commercially available basalt fabrics. The hierarchical fibres significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of PLA-based composites, especially their flexural strength and stiffness. These values are 26% and 22% higher than those of unmodified basalt/PLA composites, and 24% and 34% higher than those of glass/PLA composites used as a baseline. The increase in tensile and flexural properties hinges on the mechanical interlocking action promoted by ZnO nanorods and on the creation of a compact transcrystallinity structure. A degradation of PLA matrix was detected but it was positively counteracted by the better interfacial stress transfer. This study offers a novel approach for modifying the fibre–matrix interface of biocomposites intended for high-performance applications.

The Impact

The weight reduction concept is most effective to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles, which also improves fuel efficiency. Amongst lightweight materials, magnesium alloys are attractive to the automotive sector as a structural material. Welding feasibility of magnesium alloys acts as an influential role in its usage for lightweight prospects. Friction stir welding (FSW) is an appropriate technique as compared to other welding techniques to join magnesium alloys. Field of friction stir welding is emerging in the current scenario. The friction stir welding technique has been selected to weld AZ91 magnesium alloys in the current research work. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the produced FSW butt joints have been investigated. Further, the influence of post welding heat treatment (at 260 °C for 1 h) on these properties has also been examined. Post welding heat treatment (PWHT) resulted in the improvement of the grain structure of weld zones which affected the mechanical performance of the joints. After heat treatment, the tensile strength and elongation of the joint increased by 12.6 % and 31.9 % respectively. It is proven that after PWHT, the microhardness of the stir zone reduced and a comparatively smoothened microhardness profile of the FSW joint obtained. No considerable variation in the location of the tensile fracture was witnessed after PWHT. The results show that the impact toughness of the weld joints further decreases after post welding heat treatment.
