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 ...

Thermal analysis of jute fibre reinforced vinylester resin with 30 vol% of fibre were performed by TG/DTG under dynamic conditions. The fibres were treated with alkaline solution at different temperatures and the final ...

Jute cloth reinforced, fully biodegradable thermoplastic composites were produced by the film stacking technique, with a semicrystalline copolyester (Ecoflex) as the matrix material. The jute cloth content varied between ...

Flexural toughness, impact resistance and shrinkage cracking performance of earthen materials can be improved with the addition of fibers. There are limited studies addressing these properties in fiber-mixed adobe. This ...

Brazil is the only country in South America to have an automotive supplier sector based on natural fibers. New opportunities are arising due to an increase demand by the car makers in applying natural fibers in their parts. ...
