Abstract
Jute as a fiber has many applications. It is also used in polymers as reinforcement due to its good tensile properties. However, when it is used in polymer matrices, there is a lack of adhesion between the polymer and jute fiber. Surface treatment of fiber using chemicals has been found to improve the properties. However, the use of chemicals causes environmental pollution, when these chemicals are discharged into the environment. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of the biological route to surface treat the jute fiber. The effect of surface treatment on the morphology of jute was examined. A comparative study was on the crystalline, thermal, and tensile fracture morphology of the composites to understand the effect of the incorporation of untreated and treated jute fibers in polypropylene (PP).
