Mechanical and thermal properties of mineral fiber based polymeric nanocomposites: a review.

Mineral fibre composites are widely employed in a variety of industries due to their superior qualities over other fibres. Mineral fibres have proven to be effective in a variety of applications, including electronics, aviation, medical, maritime, cars, and concrete structural elements. Glass and basalt fibres are the most often utilized mineral fibres in polymer composites. Various researchers have recently attempted to improve the properties of composite materials by hybridizing fibre reinforced composites with nano fillers. The fillers have a high aspect ratio due to their nanosize dimension, which provides more surface area for interaction with the matrix material. When these nanoparticles are utilized as a reinforcement in mineral fiber-based composites, they exhibit outstanding qualities that meet industry standards. This study provides a brief overview of the most commonly utilized mineral fibres in polymer composites, as well as nano filler-based polymer hybrid composites and their current developments.
