Since natural fibers have great potential as an alternative to synthetic fibers when the
components are impacted at low energies, their mechanical properties under different types …

In recent years, the non-biodegradable nature of synthetic composite materials has shifted
the research focus on natural fibres as possible substitutes for traditional reinforcements …

Nanoparticles are considered as feasible strengthening agent which strengthen different
types of polymeric materials with minor reduction in the density of composites. In this study …

In this work, it was investigated how the mechanical characteristics of basalt (B)-, jute (J)-,
and flax fibers (F)-reinforced composites combining with epoxy resin as matrix material were …

In the paper, laser cutting of basalt fibre reinforced polymer laminate using a 450 W QCW
fiber laser, working in a pulsed regime is presented. Preliminary tests were performed on a …

The development of new material configuration is a challenge which requires different steps
of characterization. From the mechanical characterization, which is the starting point to …

Environmental impact is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry, with car
manufacturers looking to reduce CO2 emissions through cleaner engines and structural …

In this study, the use of natural fibres (flax and basalt) in combination with a recyclable epoxy
matrix based on cleavable amines is suggested for improving the sustainability of marine …
