Fabrication and Characterization of Jute Fiber-Reinforced PET Composite: Effect of LLDPE Incorporation

The aim of the research was to study the effect of LLDPE incorporation in the jute fiber-reinforced PET composites (50% fiber by wt). The effect of LLDPE incorporation into PET was investigated by measuring the mechanical properties of the LLDPE blended jute fiber-reinforced PET composites. LLDPE was blended (20-80% by wt) with PET and the thin films were made by compression molding. Water uptake of the composites was also investigated. Degradation of all the composites was carried out in soil medium.

Composites were subjected to mechanical, thermal, water uptake and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. Composite contained 50 wt% jute showed the best mechanical properties. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, bending strength, bending modulus and impact strength of the 50% jute content composites were found to be 85 MPa, 1.25 GPa, 140 MPa and 9 GPa and 9.5 kJ/m², respectively. Water uptake properties at room temperature were evaluated and found that the composites had lower water uptake compared to virgin matrix.

Studies on the Effect of Hydroxy Benzene Diazonium Salts on Physico-Mechanical Properties of Jute Fiber

Jute fiber was treated with three different hydroxy benzene diazonium salts in acidic and basic media. The formation of coupling with lignin in the polymer system was observed by the infrared spectra and nitrogen content estimation. The physico-mechanical properties, viz., tensile strength, tenacity, elongation at break, moisture regain, shrinkage, and loss in weight of jute fiber were studied. The tensile strength, tenacity, and moisture regain properties of the treated fiber were found lower in comparison to those of raw (control) fiber. However, higher tensile strength and tenacity of the fiber treated with ortho hydroxy benzene diazonium salts in comparison to fiber treated with meta hydroxy benzene diazonium salts were observed. The tensile strength and tenacity of the fiber treated with meta hydroxy benzene diazonium salts were higher than those of the fiber treated with para hydroxy benzene diazonium salts. The elongation at break of the treated fiber is found greater than that of the raw fiber. The fiber treated in basic media shows higher tensile strength than that treated in acidic media. The formation of metallated azo complex compound on jute fiber was observed by infrared spectra. The nature of the shades developed on jute fiber was also reported.

White Rice Husk Ash Filled Natural Rubber/Linear Low Density Polyethylene Blends

Abstract

Natural rubber (NR)/Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blends were prepared using an internal mixer at 150°C and a rotor speed of 55 rpm. The tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness increase with increasing LLDPE content whereas elongation at break and mass swell show decreasing trend. With 30/70 (W/W) NR/LLDPE blends, the increasing white rice husk ash (WRHA) loading also increases the tensile modulus and hardness but reduced the tensile strength, elongation at break, and mass swell.     

Preparation and Characterization of Bioblends from Gelatin and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) by Extrusion Method

Abstract

Bioblends are composites of at least one biodegradable polymer with a non-biodegradable polymer. Successful development of bioblends requires that the biodegradable polymers be compatible with other component biodegradable/synthetic (non-biodegradable) polymers. Bioblends from LLDPE and gelatin were prepared by extrusion and hydraulic heat press technique. The gelatin content in the bioblends was varied from 5 to 20 wt%. Various physico-mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, impact strength (IS), thermal ageing and soil degradation properties of the LLDPE/gelatin bioblends with different gelatin contents were evaluated. The effect of thermal ageing on mechanical properties was studied. The mechanical properties such as tensile modulus (TM), bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM) were found to increase with increasing gelatin content up to 20 wt%, however tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (%E _b) were decreased with increasing gelatin content. Impact strength value increased with increasing gelatin content up to 10 wt% and then decreased slightly with increasing gelatin content. The blend containing 20 wt% gelatin showed relatively better mechanical properties than other blends. The values of TS, TM,%E _b, BS, BM and IS for the bioblend with 20 wt% gelatin content are 5.9MPa, 206.3MPa, 242.6%, 12.1MPa, 8 MPa and 13.7 J/cm², respectively. Water uptake increases with increasing soaking time in water and weight loss due to soil burial also increases with increasing gelatin content in the blends but both are significantly lower than that of pure gelatin sheet. Weight loss values after thermal ageing increase with time, temperature and increasing gelatin content in the blend but are much lower than pure gelatin. Mechanical properties such as TS, TM are increased and %E _b is decreased after thermal ageing at 60°C for 30 min. Consequently, among all of the bioblends prepared in this work the blend having 20% gelatin content yields properties such that it can be used as a semi-biodegradable material.

Jute fabrics reinforced polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and mixture of PP+PE matrices based composites (50 wt% fiber) were prepared by compression molding. It was found that the mixture of 80% PP + 20% PE hybrid matrices based jute fabrics reinforced composites performed the best results.

Irradiated jute fabrics were also treated with aqueous starch solution (1–5%, w/w) for 2–10 min. Composites made of 3% starch-treated jute fabrics (5 min soaking time) and irradiated PP showed the best mechanical properties. Tensile strength, bending strength, tensile modulus, bending modulus and impact strength of the composites were found to improve 31, 41, 42, 46 and 84% higher over untreated composites. Water uptake, thermal degradation and dielectric properties of the resulting composites were also performed.

Preparation,Mechanical and Electrical Properties and Water Absorption Study of Novel Bisphenol-C-Formaldehyde-Acrylate Treated and Untreated Jute Composites

The depolarization current spectra for polyvinyledenefluoride (PVDF), poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA), and their double-layered samples have been recorded under different polarizing conditions. When double-layered sample is polarized at 323 K with high field, a new TSDC peak is observed that is inherent in PMMA and PVDF when considered individually. This is because of the trapping charge carriers at the PVDF–PMMA interface. The space charge peak is shifted toward the lower temperature side for the PMMA and PVDF samples; however, this trend of peak shifting was not found for double-layered samples. The trapping of charge carriers in the metal polymer interface is responsible for space charge peak. This trapping of charge carriers in polymer-polymer interface is interesting, and this process is responsible for interfacial polarization in double-layered samples.
