Hybrid composite materials

Hybridization of carbon fibre with basalt fibre significantly increases production of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics, which allows expanding the areas of application of these effective materials not only for special purposes, but also for the most important types of products in machine building, auto and rail transport, in the river and marine fleet, etc. The increased demand for hybrid carbon-fibre-filled plastics requires nitron manufacturers to increase, and not decrease output and to use it not only in industry but also for manufacturing domestic wool-like items, which will reduce imports. Hybridization of carbon fibres with 30–40% basalt fibres will stimulate the development of the basalt fibre, yarn, and fabric sector, which will reduce their cost and expand the areas of application particularly for roads and transportation so that basalt will be as valuable a resource for our country as oil and gas.
