Composite plates with B8, C8, B2C4B2, and C2B4C2 architectures were aged in deionized water at 10 bar for up to 30 days, then tested against a 100Cr6 steel ball at 30 N, 50 m track and 1 or 2 Hz. Water uptake ranged from approximately 4.3% for B8 to 1.2\u20132.7% for carbon-rich and hybrid laminates, and induced a depression and broadening of the epoxy glass-transition region that was most severe in basalt-skinned systems. At 1 Hz and 30-day aging, B8 exhibited the most severe damage, with wear-scar widths and depths approaching 3.0 mm and 0.50 mm, whereas C8 retained narrow shallow scars below 0.8 mm and 0.02 mm and COF values below 0.20. Increasing frequency to 2 Hz mitigated wear, reducing B8 depth to approximately 0.30 mm under similar conditions. Factorial analysis attributed more than 70% of the variance in wear width to laminate architecture. The combined pressurized immersion, multi-frequency reciprocating wear and DSC, profilometry, and SEM methodology provides an original framework to link hygrothermal plasticization to architecture-dependent tribological durability in hybrid basalt\u2013carbon laminates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18010057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]],"date-time":"2025-12-26T02:07:58Z","timestamp":1766714878000},"page":"57","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tribological Response of Basalt\/Carbon Hybrid Laminated Composites After Water-Immersion Aging: Influence of Stacking Sequence Under Reciprocating Wear"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4385-4981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinan","family":"Fidan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli 41001, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3889-6909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sat\u0131lm\u0131\u015f","family":"\u00dcrg\u00fcn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aviation Electrics and Electronics, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli 41001, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6777-4818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet \u0130skender","family":"\u00d6zsoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Sakarya University, Sakarya 54050, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0921-418X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa \u00d6zg\u00fcr","family":"Bora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli 41001, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Togayhan","family":"Kutluk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli 41001, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erman","family":"G\u00fcle\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otokar Automotive Defense Industry Corp., Sakarya 54580, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"354","DOI":"10.1007\/s40544-014-0068-9","article-title":"Effect of stacking sequence on physical, mechanical and tribological properties of glass-carbon hybrid composites","volume":"2","author":"Agarwal","year":"2014","journal-title":"Friction"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1826","DOI":"10.1515\/mt-2023-0207","article-title":"Tensile, bending, and impact properties of laminated carbon\/aramid\/glass hybrid fiber composites","volume":"65","author":"Danyildiz","year":"2023","journal-title":"Mater.
