Dynamic mechanical properties and thermal properties of longitudinal basalt/woven glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites

This study investigates the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of basalt/woven glass fiber reinforced polymer (BGRP) hybrid polyester composites. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to explore the chemical aspect, whereas the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and th...
