Abstract
Unidirectional compressed jute fibre sheets are prepared by using raw jute and jute sliver at 120oC for 20 minute, at a pressure of 50 kg/cm2. Compressed raw jute fibre sheet produced from raw jute reed and jute sliver were used for preparation of the composites in unsaturated polyester resin matrix. Three different fibre content 25 (w/w)%, 35 (w/w)%, 44 (w/w)% composites were fabricated by using raw jute and jute sliver. Tensile, flexural, ILSS and SEM properties of composites made from raw jute and jute sliver were studied. The Tensile, flexural and ILSS properties of composites made from raw jute was found to be higher than composites made from jute sliver.
Highlights
In a struggle to save our environment, researchers all over the world have been provoked to develop environment friendly composites of the natural fibre
Interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) properties of the resin and composite samples are reported in the Table 2 which indicates that composites made from raw jute had higher inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) strength than sliver jute composites for the three percentages of composites
In this research a new method for production of compressed raw jute and jute sliver sheets preparation is described, which can be used as the reinforcement material to improve fibre percentage in composites produced
Summary
In a struggle to save our environment, researchers all over the world have been provoked to develop environment friendly composites of the natural fibre. They fabricated composites by using both untreated and bleached jute slivers in polyester resin matrix with various percentages. Gowdaa and Naidu [12] studied the mechanical properties of woven jute fabric-reinforced polyester resin composites.
