Jute/Kevlar Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Composites: A Dynamic Mechanical Study

Abstract

This paper depicts the impact of Kevlar (artificial fiber) and jute (regular fiber) on thermal property utilizing dynamic mechanical investigation. The examination is performed by manufacture of different Kevlar fiber content levels for the layers of the jute overlays. Overlays for dynamic mechanical investigation tests were carried out by hand lay up method and tried at a temperature scope of 30 to 150°C. Recurrence of the movements were fixed at 1 Hz and the strain ampleness displayed at 0.1%, which was well inside the direct viscoelastic locale. The warming rate was 3°C/min for all temperature examine trials. Storage modulus (E’), Loss modulus (E”) and loss factor (tan δ) were assembled in the midst of the test and plotted to frame against temperature. An extension away in storage and loss modulus and augmentation in the loss factor were looked for all composite overlays demonstrating progressively adaptable direct of the composites as differentiated to the unadulterated jute composites overlays. Results exhibited that glass change (transition) temperature augmentations to elevated temperatures in composite overlays
