“…For UP/Jute composites it is observed impact strength as well as absorbed energy are increased with increased of fiber content from 2 to 10 wt% of filler content. This increment was also observed by the Ajith Gopinath et al [25].The reasons behind the enhancement of impact energy for UP/Jute composites are porous structure of the fiber and well dispersion of filler. But beyond 10 wt% of filler content agglomeration occurred that determinates the impact energy [26].…”

Jute fiber along with Cu particle dispersed unsaturated polyester composites having different filler (both Jute and Cu were in equal wt%) loading viz. 2, 5, 10, and 15 wt% were fabricated by compression molding technique. In the present investigation, it is observed that with fillers (Jute and Cu) incorporation the microhardness increases and reaches its maximum at 10 wt% of fillers content followed by slight deterioration at 15 wt%. Structural investigation through X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy confirms the presence and dispersion of filler. It is observed that with filler addition the crystallinity (%) of the matrix increases which is obtained from X‐ray diffraction pattern. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ensured the bonding of fillers with the matrix and detected the presence of moisture. The mechanical testing viz., tensile, flexural, and Izod impact test shows the strength and modulus increase monotonically upto 10 wt% filler addition followed by slight decreases at 15 wt% filler content. The scratch result shows the optimization of strength and toughness of the composites. Thermo‐gravimetric analysis and differential thermo‐gravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability, degradation temperature, and residual mass significantly increased with fillers addition. The water absorption test (room temperature and boiling temperature) predict a variation in weight with time. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:E1315–E1330, 2018. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…The optimum impact result had been obtained for the UP/Sisal/ZrO 2 composites with 35 wt% filler content followed by UP/Sisal composites. For all composites, it was observed that impact energy or absorbed energy by the composites increased with increases the filler content from 5 to 35 wt% . There may be two reasons behind the improvement of the impact energy.…”

Influence of ZrO₂ Incorporation on Sisal Fiber Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites

Sisal fiber along with ZrO2 particles dispersed unsaturated polyester (UP) composites were fabricated by compression molding technique. The filler contents were varied from 5 to 45 wt% with a gradual increase of 10%. The structural investigation was done using Scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical testing was performed through microhardness tester, tensile, flexural, and Izod impact test. The optimum mechanical properties were obtained at 35 wt% of filler incorporation within UP matrix followed by a slight deterioration at 45 wt%. Fractographic images of the composites display the phenomena of fiber pull‐out, debonding and breakage. The water absorption test was performed both at room temperature and boiling water temperature conditions. The thermal insulation measurement was performed by Kawabata method. POLYM.

“…The advantages of Jute fiber composites are: Weight is low, requirement of raw material is low, cheaper compared to other composites, optimized mechanical properties can be obtained, it is having good physical properties, good resistance to moisture, available in semi finished and finished state etc. Jute fiber can also be used for railway transport sector [9][10]. Mechanical properties of jute fiber were studied and compared the results with polyester and epoxy resins.…”

In this paper presented the behavior of nano jute fiber composite under impact loads by varying percentage of weight fractions of jute fiber, as interlayer of glass fiber epoxy composite. Impact strength of the composite is the requirement to know the ability of the material under impact loads. The ratio of glass fiber and epoxy resin is 1:1. Hand la up method is employed for fabricating the samples and trimmed them under ASTM D 256 standards for experimentation. It is observed that the impact strength and hardness of composite is increased after utilizing the nano jute fiber composite than pure glass fiber epoxy composite.
