Abstract

In the proposed study, reinforced polyester resin with jute fabric was employed to create a Jute Fibre Reinforced Plastic (JFRP) composite with a weight ratio of 2:1. The simple hand lay-up method was used for developing JFRP composite and the mechanical properties were tested. The JFRP composites were treated with alkali to modify its surface property. Furthermore, the mechanical characteristics of treated and untreated composites were examined. The analysis shows that the impact strength of alkali treated specimen is 98.85% more than that of non-treated specimen. In addition, the hardness of alkali treated is 21.83% higher than the untreated specimen. The treated tensile strength of alkali was higher than the non-treated specimen by 25%. As a result, it was discovered that alkali-treated composites were superior plastic alternatives.
