Abstract

This study investigates the effect of adding peanut husk-derived Si3N4 on load bearing, time dependent and thermal properties of basalt fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The fine Si3N4 particles are synthesized via thermo-chemical process and the composites are meticulously prepared using the hand layup method. The composites undergo various characterization methods following ASTM standards. According to the results, the composite, RBS2 produced an improved tensile, flexural and impact values of 131 MPa, 177 MPa and 3.84 J respectively whereas the composite RBS3 produced an improved wear resistance, reduced creep strain, enhanced flame retardance and high thermal stability. It demonstrates a specific wear rate of 0.009 mm3/Nm, coefficient of friction of 0.31 and a low creep strain of 0.0086 mm at 10000 s. It also exhibits a notably high initial decomposition temperature of 410 °C and a lower flame propagation speed of 6.72 mm/min. In terms of fatigue, RBS2 performs exceptionally well, with high values at 25%, 50%, and 75% of its ultimate tensile strength. However, RBS3 experiences a slight reduction in fatigue due to localized stress concentrations. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the composite's suitability for diverse engineering applications, where a balance between wear resistance, fatigue strength, creep resistance, and thermal and flame stability is crucial.
