Abstract
Jute fabrics and unidirectional jute fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) based composites were prepared successfully by compression molding technique. The unidirectional jute fiber was treated with Reactive Orange HB® and Deep Blue LW® dye to investigate physico-mechanical properties. The Reactive Orange HB® treated composites showed relatively better mechanical properties than the Deep Blue LW® treated composites. The jute fiber-based composites showed higher mechanical properties than that of jute-based fabrics. The polypropylene-based composites showed better mechanical properties than that of LLDPE. The variations of mechanical properties were also observed. The highest mechanical properties were at -18 °C and lowest at 50 °C. Water absorbent, SEM and FT-IR analysis of the composite was also carried out.
