  ABSTRACT: The influence of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid treatment on the electro-physical properties of superthin basalt fiber (STBF) made from Armenian basalt rocks was studied. Specific electric resistance for direct and alternating currents, dielectric parameters of ε, and ε,, were measured. It is shown that specific resistance and dielectric parameters of super-thin basalt fiber change essentially after hydrochloric or sulphuric acid treatment. The temperature dependences of these parameters were studied, too, and their non–monotonic behavior was observed. The probable variation of mentioned STBF parameters is explained by different water absorption capacity of pores as a result of acid treatment.
