A detailed investigation of physical, mechanical and thermal properties jute bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy resin unidirectional void free composites was carried out. The were prepared by using vacuum technique. Scanning electron microscopic analysis, tensile flexural testing thermogravimetric analysis performed in order to evaluate surface morphology, behavior the respectively. relationship between theoretical experimental values figured out rules mixture. analytical results showed good...

The application of natural fibers is increasing rapidly in the polymer-based composites. This study investigates manufacturing and characterization polypropylene (PP) based composites reinforced with three different fibers: jute, kenaf, pineapple leaf fiber (PALF). In each case, weight percentages were varied by 30 wt.%, 35 40 wt.%. Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, impact strengths determined following relevant standards. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was...

Natural fibers are environment-friendly, biodegradable, nonabrasive, and less costly exhibit high initial modulus moisture absorption. However, they have nonuniformity in their mechanical, physical, chemical, thermal properties at different portions. For this reason, long jute fiber was cut into three portions subsequently characterized using single tensile test, differential scanning calorimetric, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy according to top, middle,...

In recent years, natural fibers, such as jute has gained significant research interest in order to fabricate fiber reinforced polymer composites. Chemical treatments are generally carried out on the raw fibers for making composites with improved properties. From a composite manufacturing point of view, it is important understand how can affect thermal properties fiber. present research, effects rot-retardant, fire-retardant and water-retardant were investigated. Fiber samples collected from...

Natural renewable materials can play a big role in reducing the consumption of synthetic for environmental sustainability. fiber-reinforced composites have attracted significant research and commercial importance due to their versatile characteristics multi-dimensional applications. As natural are easily rotten, flammable, moisture absorbent, they require additional chemical modification use sustainable product development. In present research, jute fibers were treated with rot-, fire-,...

Products made from natural materials are eco-friendly. Therefore, it is important to supply product developers with reliable information regarding the properties of materials. In this study, we consider a widely used material called jute, which grows in Bangladesh, India, and China. We described results tensile tests on jute yarns, as well energy absorption patterns leading yarn failure. have also statistical analyses possibility distributions quantify uncertainty associated following yarn:...

Abstract This study deals with both a decision model for making decisions under epistemic uncertainty and how to use it selecting optimal materials the same uncertainty. In particular, proposed employs set of possibilistic objective functions defined by fuzzy numbers handle conflicting criteria. addition, can calculate compliance piece decision-relevant (imprecise) information given function. Moreover, is capable aggregate calculated compliances sake ranking alternatives against The problem...

Nowadays, natural fibers have earned a great deal of attention because they help produce eco-products. Since grow naturally and their microscopic structures cannot be controlled, material properties exhibit variability. This variability or uncertainty must known beforehand to ensure the reliability natural-fiber-based product. In this article, we use widely used fiber collected from plant called jute perform tensile tests, and, then, determine strength modulus elasticity. We also quantify...

Jute natural fiber is gradually replacing traditional glass fibers as reinforcement in composites due to their higher specific modulus and lower gravity. For reducing rotting properties of jute fiber, rot-retardant treatment was conducted on different portions the fiber. The were characterized by tensile test, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal water absorption tests. improved middle portion compared top bottom...

Natural fibers are biodegradable, non toxic, recyclable, energy efficient and eco-friendly, which reduce the issue of waste disposal as seen in case synthetic fibers. Jute is cheapest lignocellulosic long vegetable bast fiber abundantly available South Asia, especially Bangladesh. It offers a number benefits reinforcement polymers. In present study, jute was chemically treated order to make it fire, rot water retardant. reinforced green composites were manufactured using preheated chopped...

As a natural fibre, jute has great demand in diversified areas. For the aesthetic view furniture, fabrics are getting importance by manufacturer as well user. this reason, reinforcing composites developed using with different types of matrix materials to enhance their performance based on end use. The present research aims predict physical and mechanical criteria layer polyester composites. Different layers were prepared incorporating into unsaturated resin along hardener easy hand lay-up...
