Fe and Mg Isotope compositions Indicate a Hybrid Mantle Source for Young Chang'E 5 Mare Basalts [PDF]
, 2023 The Chang'E 5 (CE-5) samples represent the youngest mare basalt ever known and provide an access into the late lunar evolution. Recent studies have revealed that CE-5 basalts are the most evolved lunar basalt, yet controversy remains over the nature of their mantle sources.

Chopped basalt fibres: A new perspective in reinforcing poly(lactic acid) to produce injection moulded engineering composites from renewable and natural resources [PDF]
, 2012 This paper focuses on the reinforcing of Poly(lactic acid) with chopped basalt fibres by using silane treated and untreated basalt fibres. Composite materials with 5–10–15–20–30–40 wt% basalt fibre contents were prepared from silane sized basalt fibres

Mechanical behavior of basalt fibers in a basalt-UP composite
Procedia Structural Integrity, 2016 AbstractWith the increasing interest in sustainable solutions in material design in the last decade, research on natural materials (animal, vegetal or mineral) has increased at a rapid pace. Of these materials, Basalt Fibers for composite construction provide an interesting set of mechanical properties, equal or above to those of Glass Fibers, with ...
