PREPARATION AND TENSILE CHARACTERIZATION OF JUTE BASED BIO COMPOSITES

Mahammad Sharif Budihal

Abstract: In recent days the natural fibers of renewable natural resources have the ability to behave as a reinforcing material for polymer composites, instead of using the carbon and other artificial fibers in all this jute is commonly used natural fiber because of its merits like it is easily available less density less production cost with good mechanical properties. to this composite material the mechanical attributes depends on various factors like fiber length, quantity, etc in this research work attempts has made to investigate experimentally the impact of jute fiber glass fibre carbon fibre and epoxy resin on the tensile properties of composites at different temperatures and to determine the tensile properties jute based epoxy bio composites at different temperatures, composite consist of two materials in that first material is known as the reinforcing phase. It is of fibres sheets or particles form and it is mixed with another material known as matrix phase. It is noted that natural fibre composites are eco-friendly as compared to glass fibre composites and also shows that the jute fibre introduced the resin matrix as reinforcement it optimizes the mechanical properties.
