The influence of granite dust and aluminium mesh on the dynamic mechanical properties of hybrid basalt/glass fibre reinforced polymer composite laminates has been investigated. The composites specimens were produced using hand lay-up technique involving modified polyester (PE) resin with 1wt%, 3wt%% and 5wt% of granite dust. Twelve systems of the hybrid composite laminates were prepared and subjected to dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) test under three-point bending mode according to ASTM D5023-15. In general, the results showed that the addition of granite dust (GD) and the presence of aluminium mesh improved the dynamic-mechanical properties of the basalt composite laminates. Using Woven Basalt (WB), Glass Chopped Strand Mat (GCSM) and Aluminium (Al) mesh, the WB/GCSM-PE and WB/GCSM/Al-PE laminate systems showed the highest improvement in storage modulus (E') properties with the presence of the GD. This suggests that the presence of GD restricts the mobility chain movement of the polyester matrix and toughens the fibre-matrix bonding, hence the hybrid basalt/glass composites tend to store more strain energy.
