Compressive and Flexural Strength Improvement of Jute Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composite
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Jute fibre reinforced composites, have replaced the most widely used synthetic fibre (glass) reinforced composites in many applications. In the present experimental endeavor, jute fibre-epoxy resin reinforced composites, were prepared using hand lay-up molding process. Jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites had better flexural strength, with transverse fiber distribution in the composites. Chemical characterization will remove impurities of material and increases mechanical properties of the composite. Composites based on jute fiber and epoxy resin, was fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The mechanical properties of the composites, such as compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus were measured, in dependence of fiber content. The present work described, the mechanical properties and development of a new set of natural fiber based polymer composites, consisting of fiber as reinforcement with epoxy resin.
