The effects of manufacturing processes on the physical and mechanical properties of basalt fibre reinforced polybenzoxazine

Abstract
The present work provides a comparative investigation between different methods of manufacturing basalt fibre reinforced polybenzoxazines (BFRP), including vacuum infusion, hand laminating, dynamic fluid compression moulding and autoclave curing processes. In comparison to the high pressure based autoclave-cured and compression-moulded BFRPs, vacuum-infused BFRPs showed similar or even higher mechanical properties. Despite the low pressure curing, vacuum infusion yielded BFRPs with a 10% higher tensile strength and a 24% higher strain at failure compared to its autoclave-cured counterparts. Thus, it is possible to gain BFRPs with near-zero porosity and high mechanical properties without the need of high pressure curing methods.
