DEVELOPMENT OF METAL-POLYMER LAMINATE WITH HIGH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Abstract
Basalt fiber-reinforced metal-polymer composites represent a cutting-edge class of materials that merge the robustness of metal with the pliability of polymer. Originating from natural volcanic rocks, basalt fibers possess remarkable mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, resistance to extreme temperatures, and chemical inertness. Integrating basalt fibers into a polymer matrix like epoxy or thermoplastic resins significantly boosts the composite's resistance to dynamic impacts and its energy absorption capacity. The metal component ensures structural integrity and strength, while the polymer matrix distributes energy through elastic deformation. Basalt fibers find application across various industries, including aviation, automotive, and military technology. There are research centers and scientific groups whose work is focused on developing polymer composite materials reinforced with basalt fibers. These metal-polymer composites are especially valuable for their application in an automotive industry, aerospace and construction, due to their high strength to weight ratio, as well as for the ability to absorb impact energy, flexibility in design and chemical resistance. The objective of this study is to develop a technology for producing basalt fiber-based metal-polymer composites and to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of these materials. Using Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP) technology, metal-polymer composites incorporating basalt fiber were produced. The resulting samples exhibit high bonding strength, uniform polymer distribution within the matrix, and a straightforward manufacturing process. Experimental samples of the metal-polymer composites, produced using VIP technology, were tested under mechanical and dynamic loads.
