As the demand for environmentally friendly materials increases, basalt fibers are gradually winning attention in various fields due to their excellent physical and Chemical properties. Although applications have been achieved in fields such as pavement construction and filter materials, there is still much room for future research. The following is an outlook on the research of basalt fiber products.

As a typical inorganic modifier, basalt fiber has been widely studied and applied to asphalt materials. Its unique properties can not only improve the defects of asphalt itself but also significantly improve the road performance of asphalt concrete. An in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of basalt fibers is of great significance for optimizing the design and application of asphalt mixtures.

In the long evolutionary process of the earth, basalt, as an important natural resource, its unique genesis and wide distribution make it an ideal raw material for manufacturing high-performance basalt fibers. In this paper, we will discuss the characteristics, selection criteria and treatment process of basalt.

A European regulation to eliminate tariffs on imported basalt products was announced and adopted today at the 2024 World Green Design Organization Annual Conference and Brussels Summit in Brussels, Belgium

Basalt fiber reinforcement is a basalt fiber raw materials and organic resin matrix materials according to a certain proportion of fusion and add the appropriate amount of auxiliaries and the formation of a new high-performance composite materials, in the field of civil engineering has great prospects for application.

Basalt fiber is a typical inorganic modifier in one, researchers found that the modifier will be added to the asphalt material, not only can deal with the asphalt's own bad characteristics, but also improve the road performance of asphalt concrete. It was found that the fiber can improve the performance of asphalt mixtures, fibers in asphalt mixtures to three-dimensional dispersed phase state exists, the formation of the stability of the spatial mesh structure determines the quality of the road performance of asphalt mixtures. Therefore, the understanding of the role of basalt fiber mechanism, for the study of asphalt mixtures is quite important.

In the basalt continuous fiber production process, in order to improve the quality of the fiber, should try to avoid wear and tear of the fiber in the production process, at the same time for different applications require fibers with different surface properties, so in the production process generally need to be coated with oil on the surface of the fiber, the industry is called infiltration agent. The use of infiltrating agent on the one hand can play a protective role in lubrication to avoid damage to the surface of the fiber, the second can also improve the interaction between the fiber monofilaments, to provide a certain role in the cluster, and the third can be designed through the structure of the infiltrating agent itself to improve the surface properties of the fiber to meet the different needs of the application.

The mechanical properties of basalt fibers (e.g., tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, fracture toughness, etc.) are important indicators for their application in composites and engineering. Surface modification not only improves the interfacial bonding properties between fibers and matrix materials but may also affect the mechanical properties of the fibers themselves. These effects vary depending on the mechanism of the modification method and the treatment process. The following is a comparative analysis of the impact of several common modification methods on the mechanical properties of basalt fibers

Basalt fiber is a high-performance inorganic fiber that is widely used in civil engineering, composite materials and environmental protection due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and high temperature stability. However, due to its smooth surface and lack of active functional groups, the interfacial bonding performance with the matrix material is poor. Through surface modification, the interfacial bonding properties of basalt fibers can be significantly improved, thus enhancing their application in composite materials and environmental protection fields.

Basalt fiber infiltrants serve a variety of purposes in concrete or cement products, primarily including enhancing their crack resistance, compressive strength and durability.
