“…Roy et al [10] found price instability while marketing and a low support price to be two marketing constraints. Dey [11] revealed that Jute is bio-degradable and green products provided a remedy to the world packaging business. Rajendra, [12], Islam et al, [13] found more than 80 per cent of farmers are unaware of enhanced production technologies.…”

The study was undertaken in Jalpaiguri of West Bengal and Ludhiana districts of Punjab, India. The paper analyse the consumers’ opinions and constraints faced by them towards buying Jute products. A total of 100 consumers respondents were selected randomly comprising 50 from each district. Multistage sampling was used to select respondents. A paired t-test and factor analysis were used to statistically analyse the collected data. The findings of the study shows that there are statistical significant difference in awareness and opinions of the rural and urban consumers towards buying of Jute products. Two important factors safety of the environment and Jute products are fashionable and quality products were found. The Garret ranking technique was employed to analyse the constraints faced by consumers. The results shows that lack of information, followed by poor after-sale service, and unavailability of jute products are important constraints faced by consumers when buying jute products.

“…La industria del yute tiene especial importancia en la economía de la India y sigue siendo una importante fuente tradicional de divisas (Dey, 2005;Roul, 2009), sin embargo, al igual que el fique, se enfrenta a la dura competencia de las fibras sintéticas. Tiene diversas aplicaciones en materiales decorativos y de mobiliario, como pantallas de lámparas, cubiertas de pared, cortinas, tapicerías, etc.…”

ResumenLas fibras vegetales se están convirtiendo en una alternativa realmente llamativa para aplicaciones industriales por su bajo costo, peso ligero y por ser una materia prima renovable con propiedades superiores a otros materiales cuando se utiliza como refuerzo en materiales compuestos de matriz polimérica. Este tipo de materiales se vienen utilizando en industrias como calzado y marroquinería, componentes en caucho, sector transporte y construcción, por citar los más relevantes. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión sobre el uso de algodón, fique, yute y cáñamo en compuestos de matriz polimérica, iniciando con la clasificación de las fibras vegetales y sus propiedades. Se describe la evolución del uso de las fibras naturales estudiadas en diversos componentes, los principales desafíos para la obtención de compuestos con altas propiedades, y aspectos a considerar por los responsables por el diseño de productos industriales o de consumo masivo.Palabras Clave: compuestos poliméricos, fibras naturales, materiales compuestos biodegradables, resistencia mecáni-ca, aplicaciones. AbstractNatural fibers are becoming a really striking alternative for industrial applications because of its low cost, light weight and as a renewable raw material. This type of fibers shows better properties than other conventional materials when used as reinforcement in polymeric composite materials (PCM). Because of these facts, these materials are being used in footwear and leather goods, rubber parts, vehi- Informador Técnico (Colombia) 80(1) enero -junio 2016: 77-86 78 cles and building industry. This work is a review about the use of cotton, fique, yute and hemp in PCM, starting with the classification of vegetable fibers and its properties. The evolution of natural fibers as raw materials for industry and the key challenges for manufacturing articles with high perfomance properties are described. Remarkable considerations for designers about properties of PCM are stated.

J UTE is one of the available and cheap cellulosic fibers that can be printed and used instead of other materials that may be relatively high in price. Jute is one of the bio-degradable raw materials and therefore does not cause harm to the environment along with other advantages and because of its many advantages, it is called golden fiber. Textile printing is the practice of applying color to fibers in distinct patterns or designs with sharp outlines. Inappropriately printed fibers, the color is tied to the fiber, to defend against washing and crocking. Jute fabrics can be printed with all dyes suitable for dyeing jute such as viz.-direct, basic, acid, pre-metalized, vat, azoic (naphthol), reactive, and sulfur dye and natural dyes. However, jute textiles are generally printed with direct-styled pigment colors, using the kerosene or White Spiritor mineral turpentine oil (MTO)-based emulsion thickener and a Fixer-CCL (melamineformaldehyde resin) to improve rubbing fastness.
