This paper presents a study conducted on the thermal and mechanical properties of basalt hybrid and nonhybrid woven structures. While designing fabrics for various industrial textile applications, the knowledge about the mechanical properties is very important. Strength, modulus, and elongation are the most important performance properties of fabrics governing their performance in high-end applications. The thermal properties of the fabrics, i.e. thermal resistance, thermal conductivity were also studied vis-a-vis physiological behavior. In this work, state-of-the-art evaluation techniques are used, which provide reliable nondestructive measurement of thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, water vapor permeability, and air permeability of fabrics. The effect of structure and composition on the above-mentioned properties of such nonstandard fabrics has been investigated in detail. The results of the study show that effect of fiber composition, weave, and geometrical parameters on thermal and mechanical properties is significant in basalt hybrid fabrics.
