Hybrid composites based on aramid and basalt woven fabrics: Impact damage modes and residual flexural properties

► The impact performances of basalt/aramid interply hybrid composites were studied. ► Effect of two different stacking sequences on impact resistance was investigated. ► Residual flexural strength after impact for the different lay-ups was analyzed. ► Intercalated hybrids exhibited the best energy absorption capability. ► Sandwich hybrids offered the best flexural strength at all impact energies.
