A Comparative Study on the Mechanical Properties of Jute and Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

The aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the mechanical properties of raw jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites with sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites. This is followed by comparisons of the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced composites. The jute and sisal fibers were treated with 20% sodium hydroxide for 2 h and then incorporated into the epoxy matrix by a molding technique to form the composites. Similar techniques have been adopted for the fabrication of raw jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The raw jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites and the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites were characterized by FTIR. The mechanical properties (tensile and flexural strength), water absorption and morphological changes were investigated for the composite samples. It was found that the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites exhibited better mechanical properties than the raw jute and raw sisal fiber reinforced composites. When comparing the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites, the sodium hydroxide treated jute fiber reinforced composites exhibited better mechanical properties than the latter.     

Effects of alkalization on tensile,impact, and fatigue properties of hemp fiber composites

The effects of alkalization surface treatment on hemp fiber properties and the properties of hemp fiber–reinforced polyester composites have been studied. Hemp fibers were exposed to 1, 5, and 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions. The tensile properties and interfacial shear strength of all alkalized fibers were found to lie within the range of nonalkalized fibers. Laminates were made of alkalized fibers with unsaturated polyester resin, using hand lay‐up and compression moulding. Alkalization of fibers at low concentrations of 1 and 5% resulted in improvements in tensile and fatigue properties of composites made from these fibers, but no such improvements were observed for 10% alkalized fiber composites. The improvements were attributed to improvement in fiber/matrix bonding after this treatment, which was also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy images. No improvement in impact damage tolerance was observed for any of these three alkalized fiber composites. Immersion in distilled water reduced water absorption compared with nonalkalized fiber composites; however, the tensile properties in water were similar to those for nonalkalized fiber composites.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BISMALEIMIDE (N,N′-BISMALEIMIDO-4,4′-DIPHENYL METHANE) - VINYL ESTER OLIGOMER (VEO) MODIFIED UNSATURATED POLYESTER INTERCROSSLINKED MATRICES FOR ADVANCED COMPOSITES

An intercrosslinked network of varying percentages of N,N′-bismaleimido-4,4′-disphenyl methane (BMI), vinyl ester oligomer (VEO) modified unsaturated polyester (UP) matrices have been developed. Vinyl ester oligomer was prepared by reacting commercially available epoxy resin GY 250 (Ciba-Geigy) and acrylic acid was used as toughening agent for unsaturated polyester resin. BMI-VEO-UP matrices were characterized for their mechanical properties, viz tensile strength, flexural strength and unntoched Izod impact test as per ASTM standards. The dielectric strength and water absorption measurements were also performed according to ASTM standards. Data obtained from mechanical studies, dielectric strength and water absorption indicate that the introduction of VEO into unsaturated polyester resin improves mechanical properties and affects the moisture resistance according to its percentage concentration. The incorporation of BMI into the VEO modified unsaturated polyester system improves mechanical properties, dielectric strength and resistance to moisture absorption according to its percentage concentration.     

A Preliminary Study on Ultraviolet Radiation–Cured Biofiber Composites from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch

Biofiber composites, cured by ultraviolet (UV) radiation were produced using pulp made from empty fruit bunch (EFB) as the reinforcing agent and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. The EFB fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions. The kappa number of the EFB decreased as the NaOH concentration increased. The flexural and tensile strength of the composites made from 22% NaOH-treated EFB increased as the percentage of EFB increased. Composites with 28% NaOH treated EFB had lower strength as the percentage of EFB increased. Generally, those with EFB fibers treated with 22% 15 NaOH displayed higher flexural, tensile, and impact strength and tensile modulus than those with 28% NaOH-treated fibers. No significant difference was observed for both types of composite with respect to flexural modulus and elongation at break.     

Influence of surface treatment on properties of Cocos nucifera L. Var typica fiber reinforced polymer composites

Natural fibers are a powerful competitor in the polymer composite market due to their availability, sustainability, obtainability, cost, and biodegradability. The surface of natural fibers was changed to increase mechanical qualities, hydrophobicity, and bonding with polymer matrix. This study exposes the influence of several surface treatments of coconut tree peduncle fibers (CTPFs) on the thermomechanical and water absorption properties of CTPF-reinforced polymer composites. The CTPFs were treated with sodium hydroxide, benzoyl peroxide, potassium permanganate and stearic acid at a constant 40 wt% and individually reinforced in an unsaturated polyester resin matrix containing 60 wt% CTPFs. Chemically treated CTPFs improved reinforcement-matrix adhesion and enhanced composite mechanical characteristics. In addition, the scanning electron microscope fractographical study of stressed composite specimens shows improved reinforcement-matrix bonding. Moreover, the treated CTPFs have a higher cellulose wt%, which improves the composites crystalline nature, hydrophobicity and thermal stability. The potassium permanganate treated CTPF composite's maximum tensile strength of 128 MPa, flexural strength of 119 MPa, impact strength of 9.9 J/cm², hardness value of 99 HRRW and thermal stability up to 193°C make them appropriate for lightweight mobility and structural applications.     

Development of Silicon Carbide Reinforced Jute Epoxy Composites: Physical,Mechanical and Thermo-mechanical Characterizations

The aim of the present study was to investigate the physical and thermo-mechanical characterization of silicon carbide filled needle punch nonwoven jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The composite materials were prepared by mixing different weight percentages (0–15 wt.%) of silicon carbide in needle punch nonwoven jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites by hand-lay-up techniques. The physical and mechanical tests have been performed to find the void content, water absorption, hardness, tensile strength, impact strength, fracture toughness and thermo-mechanical properties of the silicon carbide filled jute epoxy composites. The results indicated that increase in silicon carbide filler from 0 to 15 wt.% in the jute epoxy composites increased the void content by 1.49 %, water absorption by 1.83 %, hardness by 39.47 %, tensile strength by 52.5 %, flexural strength by 48.5 %, and impact strength by 14.5 % but on the other hand, decreased the thermal conductivity by 11.62 %. The result also indicated that jute epoxy composites reinforced with 15 wt.% silicon carbide particulate filler presented the highest storage modulus and loss modulus as compared with the unfilled jute epoxy composite.     

Study on Mechanical and Dielectric Properties of Jute Fiber Reinforced Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Composites

Abstract

Jute fiber (Hessian cloth) reinforced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were prepared by heat press molding techniques. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength (TS), bending strength (BS), and elongation at break of the composites were studied. The enhancement of TS (33%) and BS (50%) were obtained as a result of reinforcment jute fabrics in LDPE. In order to improve the mechanical properties and adhesion between jute and LDPE, hessian cloth were each treated with 2-hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The HEMA-treated jute composite showed higher tensile and bending strength compared to untreated jute composite and LDPE. Dielectric properties like dielectric constant and loss tangent (tan δ) of jute, LDPE and composites were studied. Ferro to paraelectric phase transition occurred in both treated and untreated jute composites containing more than 20% jute. Water uptake behaviors of the composite were monitored and HEMA-treated composite showed lower water absorption behavior. The adhesion nature of jute and LDPE also characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), better adhesion was observed between HEMA-treated jute and LDPE over untreated ones.
