Abstract
This study was focussed to investigate the effect of fluorocarbon, hydrocarbon and hybrid fluorocarbon on the mechanical properties and moisture regain of jute fiber reinforced composites. A significant difference in moisture regain values of treated and untreated reinforcement samples was observed at a concentration of 40 g/l. The composite made from treated reinforcement regained very low moisture content and exhibited improved mechanical properties (tensile and flexural strength). Being dual nature (hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups) of Hybrid fluorocarbon, the treated jute fibers and corresponding composites showed better properties as compared to other two chemicals due to better interface.
