Ductile viscose fibres and stiff basalt fibres for composite applications. An overview and the potential of hybridisation
In the present study, the hybridisation of ductile viscose (Danufil) and stiff basalt fibres was investigated. The aim was to combine the positive properties of both fibre types in an epoxy matrix. Composites (round rods) were produced with a fibre volume fraction of 40% with a pultrusion technique from Danufil, basalt and a mixture of Danufil and basalt fibres. The hybrid composites were produced on the one hand with a unidirectional (UD) Danufil core and a UD basalt outer layer and vice versa.
