Effects of accelerated weathering on degradation behavior of basalt fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites

Effects of accelerated weathering on degradation behavior of basalt fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites

This work aims to give insight on the effect of accelerated weathering, i.e., the combination of ultraviolet (UV) exposure and water spraying, on the visual and mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites. The solvent exchange method, sonication and high shear milling...
