Description
Summary:The importance of composite fibers have been rapidly increasing since the inception of its discovery, in almost every engineering field. They possess beneficial properties such as low weight, high strength, highly resistive towards corrosion which makes them unique. The objective of present study is to fabricate composite using epoxy as polymer and basalt fiber as reinforcement and to investigate the influence of dispersing MMT Nano clay (Montmorillonite Nano-clay) in polymer. Conventional hand lay-up technique was used for the fabrication of composite laminate. The bi-directional basalt fiber was used as reinforcement and epoxy was taken as matrix material. Mechanical Characterization of MMT Nano clay/epoxy/basalt fiber composites was carried out for tests such as tensile, flexural and impact test, the results showed that the laminate had comprehensible properties, concluding usage of composite material is more beneficial and cost effective than conventional materials in many ways.
