In recent years increase in the use of eco-friendly, natural fibers as reinforcement for the fabrication of lightweight, low cost polymer composites can be seen globally in many applications. In particular, both industrial and academic world are focusing their attention toward the development of sustainable composites, reinforced with natural fibres. Among the natural fibres basalt ones represents the more interesting properties, which is cost-effective and offers exceptional properties over glass fibers. This article presents a review on basalt fibers used as a reinforcement material for polymer matrix composites and as an alternative to the use of glass fibers.
