The tensile fracture and failure behaviour of jute cloth (25 wt.%) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were studied as a function of certain interface modification procedures. The latter covered esterification of the ...

As-received and washed jute fabrics were used as reinforcement for a thermoset resin. The mild treatments performed on the jute fabrics did not significantly affect their physical and thermal behaviors. The washed fibers ...

In this work, the feasibility of using lignin as a compatibilizer for composites made from jute fiber fabric and polypropylene (PP) was studied. Since lignin contains polar (hydroxyl) groups and nonpolar hydrocarbon, it ...

Composites with different jute fabric contents and polypropylene (PP) were prepared by compression molding. The composite tensile modulus increased as the fiber content increased, although the strain at break decreased due ...

Low flexural strength is one of the major drawbacks of most alternative raw materials particleboards. In this sense, we study the effect of incorporating a natural reinforcement, bidirectional jute fabric, on the final ...

In recent years, the increasing volume of polymer resin production and use has generated environmental problems caused by the post-consumption disposal of these materials, which become huge amounts of waste due to the ...

In this work, hybrid materials consisting on a vinylester matrix simultaneaously reinforced with jute woven fabrics and flyash particles were prepared. The tensile response and the fracture and failure behavior of these ...

In a technology-driven society, the increase of electrical and electronic equipment consumption has been a matter of concern in relation to its management, since the expectation is that the quantity of electrical and ...

In this work, the experimental data of the compaction behavior of jute woven fabrics obtained in a previous work were modeled. A brief description of the current theoretical models found in literature is presented. It ...

In this work, a novel fiber treatment consisting on an alkali treatment superimposed to biaxial tensile stress was successfully applied to woven jute fabric/vinylester laminates. The effect of treatment on the composites ...
