Abstract
Environmentally correct composites, made from natural fibers, are among the most investigated and applied materials today. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with continuous jute fiber was investigated through bending tensile tests. Specimens containing 0, 10, 20 and 30% in volume of jute fiber were aligned along the entire length of a mold to create plates of these composites. Those plates were cut following the ASTM standard to obtained bending tests specimens. The test was conducted in an Instron machine and the fractured specimens were analyzed by SEM. The results showed an increase in the materials tensile properties with the increase of fiber amount.
