Natural fiber based polymer composites are eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic materials, with greater mechanical properties, biodegradability, availability, ease of access, and affordability. Jute fiber is widely recognized as one of the most important and beneficial natural fibers due to its strength, durability, and biodegradability. In this study, the jute composite is designed and fabricated using a 5-layer jute and epoxy resin, utilizing the manual hand lay-up technique. The combination of 52.5 % jute and 47.5 % of epoxy resin and harder is found optimized to achieve the goals of improving the tensile strength and flexural strength, reducing the cost of epoxy resin, and promoting eco-friendliness and sustainability. Tensile testing was performed on a universal testing machine, while flexural testing was done with a three-point bending test. Experimentally, the composites reinforced with jute and epoxy resin were capable of achieving the required levels of tensile strength (42.91 MPa) and bending strength (69.30 MPa). To validate and visualize specimens, numerical analysis was performed on the ABAQUS simulation software. The numerical simulation utilized ASTM D3039 and ASTM D7264 as the specified requirements for tensile and flexural behavior. For validation, these tensile and flexural test results were then numerically analyzed and compared to the experimental data. Finally, composite design, fabrication, and optimization can improve mechanical properties, reduce composite weight, lower resin cost, and increase sustainability. The proposed design and composition can be implemented to achieve lightweight properties in various applications, such as car components, door handle sheets, bicycle seat backs, and luggage covers.

Influence of stacking sequences of woven jute-carbon hybrid composites: Diffusion mechanism and mechanical characterization

In this study, different stacking orders of carbon-jute fiber mats were used to fabricate the composites and hybrids. The impact of different stacking orientations on mechanical properties was investigated experimentally. The experimental results were verified by finite element analysis (FEA). In addition, the impact of the fiber orientation on the loading direction was also investigated. Four layers of fabrics were piled to fabricate the composites by hand-layup with the cold press process. A NaCl solution was used to create a corrosive medium (pH 8), and the composites and hybrids were immersed in that medium, and their mechanical properties were compared. In this research, it has been found that the laminates with the stacking sequence of type-C (C/J/J/C) show the best result among other composites. Jute composites where all the fibers are in the loading direction possess a high strain compared with the other composites and hybrids. On the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image, delamination, buckling of fiber, fiber pullout, and voids were observed. In addition, the kinetics of the diffusion mechanism were also investigated, and it was found from the experimental results that the composites and hybrids immersed in pH 8 absorbed water via Fickian diffusion.

Effect of hybridisation on the mechanical and weathering characteristics on jute-arecanut leaf-epoxy composites

ABSTRACT Natural fibres play a crucial role in composites by offering renewable, sustainable, low cost and lightweight alternatives to synthetic fibres, promoting eco-friendly composites. Combination of natural fibres such as jute and areca nut in fabricating hybrid composites with superior properties forms the basis of this study. It was observed that mechanical properties increased with increasing natural fibre content. However, jute composites exhibited better properties (strength and rigidity) than arecanut leaf fibre composites due to their inherent superior properties. Hybridisation of fibres yielded higher properties showing that the combination of jute and areca nut fibres (30 wt % fibre content) is more effective in reinforcing the composites. Weathering characteristics revealed that the water absorption and swelling occurred in composites upon their exposure to external environment, water and chemicals. Moreover, their impact properties also decreased subsequent to weathering. Finite element analysis was carried out on these composites under tensile and flexural loading conditions yielded similar trends with experimental results. Remarkable mechanical properties exhibited due to hybridisation of these composites give them potential to be used in different domains such as automobile interiors, furniture, packaging, etc., with lower cost due to the use of natural fibres.

Response of short jute fibre preform based epoxy composites subjected to low-velocity impact loadings

This work aimed to investigate the low velocity impact behaviour of short jute fibre non-woven preform epoxy matrix composites experimentally. Dry fibre preforms were developed using an optimised process and a laboratory made preforming device. The effects of alkali and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA binder) treatments on impact performances of jute composites were investigated and compared at 3 J and 6 J impact energy levels. To identify the failure modes of tested composites, the X-ray µCT tomography was employed. The results demonstrated that the developed untreated short jute fibre preform reinforced composites absorbed a higher impact energy, when they were compared to treated (alkali or PVA binder) composites. For untreated composites, maximum impact forces at 3 J and 6 J energies, were found as ⁓2478 N and ⁓2319 N, respectively; for the PVA treatment these values were measured as ⁓2457 N and ⁓2216 N, while, at same energy levels, alkali treated composites showed the lowest values as ⁓1683 N and ⁓1440 N, respectively. Untreated jute fibre contains natural matrices such as hemicellulose, lignin and waxes, which ensured a positive response to absorb more energy upon impact loading. In contrast, the alkali treatment facilitates a highly fibre packed composite structure, which accelerated the impact crack propagation in tested composites, resulting in lower resistance to impact energy. Although, PVA treated composites showed reduced impact properties compared to untreated composites due to the PVA polymer brittleness on the treated fibre surface during the impact incidents, this treatment demonstrated better impact responses over the alkali treatment. The application of PVA binder on alkali-treated fibres provided an extra support to fibres and a better fibre/matrix interface and hence, this combined treatment demonstrated a slightly better impact resistance (⁓2027 N and ⁓1874 N impact forces at 3 J and 6 J respectively) compared to only alkali treated fibre composites. The SEM fracture images and the X-ray µCT damage analysis revealed different impact damage modes, which supported the observed impact results. The obtained results from this investigation could be helpful for using short jute fibre composites in various load demanding applications where impact incidents are likely to be happened.

Sustainable Jute Fiber Sandwich Composites with Hybridization of Short Fiber and Woven Fabric Structures in Core and Skin Layers

AbstractSustainable hybrid composites, made of two different natural plant fiber types, are increasingly being attracted by composite researchers, for their cost effectiveness and ability to control mechanical performances through varying weight ratios of different fibers. In contrast, their lower mechanical properties are reported in the literature, because of strength variations of different fiber types and an improper fiber‐matrix stress distribution. Therefore, it is aimed to develop sustainable hybrid composites from two dry fiber preforms—woven fabric and short fiber preform—originated from same fiber type (jute). A highly packed short fiber preform is used as the core layer, while woven fabrics (plain/twill–rib/twill–diamond) are used in the skin layers for producing sandwiched hybrid jute composites. Mechanical tests and scanning electron microscopy images show that hybridized plain fabric/short fiber preform composites have better mechanical properties (≈58 MPa tensile strength/≈117 MPa flexural strength/≈112.12 kJm−2 impact strength with an ≈487.4% improvement) compared to other fabric structures hybrid/nonhybrid composites. This enhancement is related to the interlocking of short fibers with long plain fabric leading to a strong fiber‐matrix interfacial bonding. Thus, this developed hybrid composites, can be applied in many semi‐structural applications, wherein composites’ low cost and mechanical performances are primary concerns.

Non-conventional Manufacturing using the EDAS Method

A process that uses mechanical energy is conventional machining. Alternative energy sources are used by unconventional machines. In non-conventional machining, the three main types of energy are thermal, chemical, and electrical. non-standard machining, also referred to as modern machining, is a machining technique that removes, deforms, and modifies the properties of materials such as plates by utilizing electricity, energy types include electromagnetic energy, bio fuels, acoustic energy, electrochemical energy, and thermal energy. Tools and work pieces are in direct touch during conventional machining procedures. The tool and indeed the work piece do not have to come into physical contact for non-traditional machining procedures to work. The distinctions between conventional and non-conventional machining processes are examined in this article. The lead phase is typically coated using a paste made from a combination of lead & lead oxide powder, additives, and the necessary amount of acid and water after the sulphated mixture has been reduced to a fine lead mass to achieve the requisite density. On the other hand, non-conventional machining uses the most recent and cutting-edge processing technologies. No materials or machine tools come into contact with each other throughout this operation. Electric beam, electric arc, plasma cutting, and infrared beam are a few examples of non-conventional tools in use. Complex forms can be machined using those atypical machining techniques, in part due to the utilisation of cutting-edge CNC technology. The usage of these procedures is frequently determined by the material's shear strength, for instance, when wear resistant alloys and special combinations are involved. In order to create complicated and exact shapes in materials like titanium, stainless steel, high - temperature short (HSTR) alloys, jute composites, ceramics, refractories, and other hard materials, nontraditional machining (NTM) procedures are now often used. The goal of the current investigation using mechanical composites is to ascertain its effect.

Material Selection of Natural Fibre Composite Webbing Sling Using Rule of Mixture

Natural fibre composites have grown in popularity as environmental concerns and knowledge about using eco-friendly materials versus synthetic materials. Furthermore, due to their low density and high strength, natural fibres are suitable for use as lightweight composite and reinforcing materials. Webbing slings are commonly used in many industries to lift loads and are typically made of synthetic fibres such as nylon and polyester. This study analysed the physical and mechanical properties, such as density, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of natural fibre composites. Bananas, pineapple, and jute with polymer matrices such as polypropylene (PP) and epoxy (EP) were used as alternative natural fibre composites for webbing sling application. Furthermore, descriptive statistical analysis was done to summarise the secondary data from the previous study of the physical and mechanical properties of natural fibre and polymer matrix. The rule of mixture (ROM) is used to identify the optimum fibre loading for manufacturing the webbing sling. This study’s volume fractions of fibre were 10%, 30%, and 50%. Using the ROM equation, the results revealed that the higher fibre loading of up to 50% could increase the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s modulus. Based on the results, pineapple/epoxy composite was the best material to manufacture the webbing sling and complied with the requirements of Product Design Specifications of polyester webbing sling compared to banana and jute composites.

Hybrid effect of neem seed and groundnut shell bio-fillers on the mechanical, water absorption and thermal properties of jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites

Abstract Natural composites possess good qualities like light weight, harmlessness, cheapness and ease of processing. However, their performance is limited compared to conventional material. Hence, it is required to improve the performance of natural composites to extend their usage in various industrial applications. In this research, an attempt has been made to improve the performance of epoxy–jute natural composite using different natural fillers made of neem seed and groundnut shell particles. Initially, the epoxy–jute composite [N:G (0:0)] was prepared and the properties of the composite were investigated. Additionally, natural-fillers were incorporated into the N:G (0:0) composite, and a variety of composites were produced. These included N:G (1:0), N:G (3:1), N:G (1:1), N:G (1:3), and N:G (0:1), with the weight fractions of neem and groundnut shell particles adjusted accordingly. The properties of the aforementioned composites were compared with the properties of N:G (0:0) composite. Results revealed that the particle reinforced composite exhibited significant improvement in the properties of the composites. Moreover, in comparison to the other composites, the N:G (0:1) composite exhibited superior tensile strength (43.28 MPa), flexural strength (46.08 MPa), impact resistance (13.93 kJ m−2), and hardness (24.7 HV). This could be due to the fibrous structure of groundnut shell compared to neem seed which was fragile in nature. Furthermore, the same composite displayed less water absorption (2.8 % at 6 days time period). Moreover, the N:G (1:0) composite exhibited the least thermal conductivity (0.31 W m−1 K−1). Based on results, it was concluded that the bio-fillers such as neem seed and groundnut shell particles assisted improvement the properties of epoxy–jute composite.

Thermo-mechanical characterizations and erosion wear studies of fumed silica-reinforced jute/epoxy composites

This study investigates the influence of nano-fumed silica content on thermo-mechanical properties of jute/epoxy composites. The results reveal that jute composites without filler (JJJJ-0) exhibited highest tensile strength (33.01 MPa) and percentage elongation (1.9522%), while composites with 1.5% and 2.5% filler demonstrated the highest tensile modulus (1967 MPa) and flexural modulus (2432.9 MPa), respectively. The observation demonstrates that as the filler content increases in jute composites, tensile strength decreases but flexural strength increases. However, an exception is noted for sample containing excess filler (3.5%), which exhibited the lowest flexural strength (44.36 MPa). The composite with 2.5% filler exhibited the highest flexural strength (53.5 MPa). Thermal analysis indicated that the addition of nanofiller enhanced both the activation energy (Ea) and thermal stability of the jute composites. A four-layer carbon composite without filler (CCCC-0) was also fabricated in order to compare wear and thermal stability performance with jute composites. The wear study was performed at different temperatures and found that JJJJ-3.5 composite exhibited superior wear resistance at ambient temperature, while CCCC-0 composite had better wear resistance at high temperatures. Also, the surface morphology of the eroded surface was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to study the failure mechanism of composites.

Sisal and jute composite containing carbon nanotubes for improved mechanical and thermal performance

Natural fiber composites are often sought after in industries, such as automotive and aerospace, due to their low density compared to traditional synthetic composites. Sisal and jute are renewable and biodegradable resources, making them attractive from a sustainability standpoint. The effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) insertion of a composed sisal and jute fiber composite material on the thermal and mechanical characteristics is investigated in this study. The primary objective of this research is to determine the exceptional mechanical strength and heat resistance that allows the composite-filled filling CNT to perform better than others. The methodical experimental approach was used to evaluate the effect of sisal and jute matrix and different amounts of CNTs’ mechanical and thermal properties. Thermal behavior is found by thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical performance is used to qualify tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance. The result suggests that CNTs may have reinforcing properties and significant tensile and flexural strength improvement. Impact resistance improved and increased the toughness of the composite material. The 7% CNT composite exhibited improvements in tensile strength of 63.9% and flexural strength of 46.6%, suggesting the synergistic reinforcing effect of CNTs. The high temperature from the use of need resistance shows promise for the composite material based on the tests of its capability for heat absorption and thermal stability. Various technical contexts are potentially useful in focusing on environmentally friendly material creation that exhibits exceptional thermal and mechanical properties.

Experimental and simulation study for mechanical properties characterisation of green natural reinforced composites

This study focuses on investigating the mechanical properties of a composite comprising jute fibers reinforced with a combination of cellulose and non-cellulose fillers. These fibers are infused with aloe vera gel and reinforced in an epoxy matrix. The process involves applying aloe vera gel to the jute fibers, followed by a 48-h cooling period. These treated jute fibers are then used to reinforce the epoxy matrix. Experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the tensile and flexural strengths of the composite. The epoxy matrix is reinforced with jute fiber composites that have been coated in aloe vera gel and include both cellulose- and non-cellulose-based particles. The cellulose-based fillers selected for this study are groundnut shell powder and teakwood powder, while graphene is chosen as the non-cellulose-based filler. The incorporation of graphene, teakwood powder, and crushed groundnut shell powder into the aloe vera gel-coated jute fibers improved tensile strength by 11.11%, 8.46%, and 53.43%, respectively, compared to a jute composite without particle reinforcement. Additionally, the study explores the behavior of a composite material containing two pre-existing cracks positioned differently, utilizing finite element methods. In all materials examined, transverse fractures consistently resulted in higher von Mises stresses and shear stresses compared to longitudinal cracks.

Present Status and Future Prospects of Jute Diversified Products in Domestic & Export Markets

"Now a day’s products diversification and commercialization are very challenging work in the field of agriculture. Jute is one of the cheapest as well as the strongest amongst the all other natural fibres. India is the largest producer of jute followed by Bangladesh and China and world leader in manufacturing jute goods. Tremendous competition from synthetic materials as well as declining demand for traditional jute goods, demand is expected to rise in respect of its value-added diversified products like fine yarn, blended yarn, specialty fabrics and non-woven based on jute and jute waste.

Fabrication and Comparative Properties of Sustainable Epoxy Methacrylate of Bisphenol-C-Jute/Treated Jute- Natural Fibers Sandwich Composites: Part-1

Epoxy methacrylate of bisphenol-C-jute/treated jute and their sandwich composites of white coir, brown coir, wild almond, bamboo, betel nut, and palmyra were prepared by a compression molding technique under 5MPa pressure and at room temperature for three h. The neat sample showed almost double tensile strength than its jute composite, while it is comparable for treated jute. The composites revealed substantially improved flexural strength compared to neat. The neat, jute/treated jute and their sandwich composites indicated good impact strength, pretty good Barcol hardness, and fairly good electric strength. The neat sample showed excellent volume resistivity, while jute/treated jute and their sandwich composites revealed reasonably good volume resistivity. The composites showed high water ingress tendency, excellent hydrolytic stability, and different diffusivity in different environments at 30oC. Water ingress trend was observed the same for all the composites in different environments, and it is H2SO4 > HCl >NaOH >H2O>NaCl. The sandwich composites may find their applications as low-cost housing and insulating materials and also for marine vessels.

Effect of water on the mechanical and thermal properties of natural fibre reinforced hybrid composites

Research and development on natural fibre-reinforced composites (NFRCs) is constantly increasing and their use is expanding into new areas of applications. One of the main problems is the absorption of humidity due to the hydrophilic characteristic of the natural fibre, which leads to low interfacial adhesion between the fibre and the hydrophobic matrix and consequently, relatively low mechanical properties. One method to reduce the sensitivity of mechanical and thermal properties of NFRCs to water uptake is the hybridization by using synthetic fibres and/or fillers. This research investigates the effect of ageing on the mechanical and thermal properties of different natural fibre and hybrid composites. Pure jute, pure jute modified with two different types of fillers (micro glass and nano TiO2) and interlaminar hybrid jute/glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites were fabricated. Bulk specimens were used to measure the diffusion coefficient of water in the composites, and tensile and flexural specimens were used to measure the mechanical properties of the conditioned specimens. A thermogravimetric technique (TGA) analysis was used to measure and compare the degradation temperature of all composites studied as a function of ageing. Finally, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed to examine the fracture surfaces of the specimens tested. It was found that the water uptake decreases by adding the synthetic fibres and the fillers to the NFRCs. The mechanical properties of the composites (the tensile and flexural strength and modulus) tend to decrease with the increase of water content, and they are partially recovered after desorption at the same temperature as the absorption. The thermal properties of natural fibre composites are affected by water absorption and by the hybridization. The hybridization of the composites increased the maximum degradation temperature when compared to the pure jute, while the addition of fillers improved the thermal properties of aged specimens (the initial degradation temperature values were higher than those for the pure jute composites).

Mechanical and Hygroscopic Characteristics of Unidirectional Jute/Glass and Jute/Carbon Hybrid Laminates

ABSTRACT Physical and mechanical performance of natural fiber composites can be tailored by hybridizing with synthetic fibers. Jute fibers are promising and highly available at a low cost in some countries, and they have been used in several applications, with the extra benefit of helping socially depressed people who commonly explore this plant. This work investigates the effect of hybridization on the properties of jute/glass and jute/carbon laminates with polyester resin. Nine different laminates were manufactured by vacuum infusion using unidirectional jute, E-glass, and carbon fabric reinforcements. Tensile, flexural, and short beam tests were performed in accordance with ASTM standards. The hybrid composites showed generally intermediate properties compared to the non-hybrid two-component laminates. The mechanical properties of the hybrid composites were 50–75% smaller than those of their respective pure glass and pure carbon composites, but 30–300% higher compared to the pure jute composite. Among the hybrids, the number of layers of the synthetic fiber played the most important role on properties, rather than the layup. That is, the variation in the number of jute fabrics may produce the required combination of stiffness and strength for different applications. Besides, the hybrid laminates, with more layers of synthetic fibers showed better hygroscopic performance.

Effect of Nano-Clay and Jute Varieties on the Structural, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of Polyester Composite

ABSTRACT Two varieties of jute fiber, tossa (Corchorus olitorius) and white (Corchorus capsularis), were combined with nano-clay (montmorillonite clay) modified polyester to fabricate composites using the hand lay-up method. The goal was to examine the impact of nano-clay on structural, mechanical, and thermal properties. The two types of jute fibers were first treated with NaOH, and the polyester was then modified with montmorillonite nano-clay (1, 2, 3) (wt%). Finally, 30 cm long unidirectional fibers were used to fabricate a composite (fiber volume fraction is 19.3%). Accordingly, the structural (crystallinity), mechanical, and thermal properties of the composite were examined using the XRD, UTM, and TGA apparatus. Regarding crystallinity, treating the tossa jute fiber and its composite with nano-clay demonstrated improved crystallinity indices of 75.24% and 75.52%. The Tossa jute fiber composite treated with 1% nano-clay exhibits an increased tensile strength of 97.8805 MPa, which is 10.92% higher than the treated fiber without NC, and a flexural strength of 159.79 MPa, which is 3.12% higher than the treated fiber without NC). In comparison to white jute composite, the treated tossa jute fiber composite showed improved thermal stability; the addition of 3% nano-clay also demonstrated higher thermal stability. The use of modified polyester in composites along with nano-clay produces better outcomes in every way.

Analisis Kekuatan Tarik Komposit Laminat Jute Berdasarkan Pola Kerusakan Kolom Silinder Metode Split Tensile Test

The purpose of this study is to obtain the damage pattern of cylindrical column concrete specimens (BKS) reinforced with laminate jute composite (KLJ) based on the results of the Split Tensile Test, to find out the phenomenon of applying laminated jute composite reinforcement to cylindrical column concrete to the percentage of crack patterns ( PPR) specimens, and analyze the comparison between split tensile strength (KTB) and PPR. The test specimens were printed based on the ASTM C496 test standard using the Vacuum Bagging method. Specimen variations consist of 1 to 4 layers of KLJ and one variation without KLJ sheath as a control specimen. The split tensile test used the UTM test tool with each variation being carried out 3 repetitions. PPR observations and calculations were carried out with the help of Adobe Photoshop software. The results of the study show that the greater the KTB value, the greater the PPR that occurs. The increase in PPR in each KTB is reported in this article.

MXene-decorated carbonized jute composite for high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding

Lightweight, good processability and efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have captured more interest with the recognition of electromagnetic pollution hazards. Biomass-based carbon has been considered as a promising EMI shielding due to its low cost, renewability and environmental friendliness. Here, we used jute felt as the precursor of biomass carbon to fabricate the MXene (Ti3C2Tx)/jute composite (MXene/CJ) via a simple carbonization process and dip-and-dry method. Higher carbonization temperature and more MXene loading are conducive to electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness (SE). When the carbonization temperature was 900 °C and dip-and-dry times was 3, the average EMI SE of 59.08 dB was achieved in 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band) with a reflection-dominated mechanism. Besides, the composite also exhibits the potential to be used as a strain sensor. Under small pressure, the composite possessed excellent sensitivity and response time. The wrist bending, swallowing and vocal cord vibration can be monitored in real-time. These results illustrate that the MXene/CJ composite has a broad prospect in the EMI shielding and wearable electronics fields. This work also provided a feasible approach for the high-value utilization of natural biomass resources.
