Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing need for natural fibre reinforced composite materials especially materials with good mechanical properties in order to substitute glass fibre based composite products to showcase a better engineering class for structural applications. Here the properties of jute fabric reinforced composite has been compared and analysed with e-glass fibre matte reinforced composite. The mercerized jute and e- glass fibre mats are treated with isophthalic resin. Charcoal powder has been used as a filler material constituting two percentage of the whole weight of entire composite. Isophthalic polyester resins offer substantially higher strength, better flexibility and chemical resistance. The properties of the jute composite and e-glass composite are determined by a series of tests such as Tensile, Flexural, Impact, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Rate of Burning tests. The newly obtained composites provide a better usage for applications that require a much better physical strength and mechanical properties.
Highlights
In current scenario the concept of sustainability draws several experts and scientists towards the use of natural fibres as reinforcement in composites
This study looks whether there is improvement in the properties of fibre with the use of isophthalic resin
E-glass fibre is used in textile industry and for composites, its share reaching 90% of reinforcements
Summary
In current scenario the concept of sustainability draws several experts and scientists towards the use of natural fibres as reinforcement in composites The concern in this field is swiftly increasing both in research wise and in industrial operations. A great deal of frequent research and studies often prove that the natural fibre reinforced green composites purifies the mechanical properties and prove to be ideal for many engineering applications [3]. Jute fibers can be obtained from both the inner stem and the outer skin of the jute stalk which are harvested by hand It is a fairly rough fibre, which means that it is not typical for apparel operations .Instead its roughness and permanence makes it suitable for industrial operations.
