Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Basalt Particle-Filled SMC Composites

Basalt particles have been investigated as a novel additive for the production of glass fibre reinforced composite using sheet moulding compound (SMC) method. Compared to the CaCO3 that are widely used as filler in the SMC composite, the resulting composites exhibit improved mechanical properties. T...
