Influence of aggressive environment on basalt fiber based microplastics
Summary
This study investigated how exposure to aggressive chemical environments affects the properties of basalt fiber reinforced microplastic composite materials, testing durability under corrosive conditions. The results are relevant to the use of such composites in construction and infrastructure applications.
Abstract Physical and mechanical properties of basalt fibers and microplastics based on them have been investigated. Influence of various environments such as distilled and sea water, alkaline solutions, UV-radiation, on microplastics’ characteristics have been studied. Alkaline solutions of high concentration are shown to affect the most the characteristics of studied materials.
