“…JF shows remarkable changes in diameter along with length of individual fibers, which is similar with other lignocellusics. The quality of this natural fiber is related with the parameters such as size, density and maturity (17)(18)(19)(20)(21).…”

AbstractChopped jute fiber (JF) surfaces were modified using alkaline, silane and eco-grade epoxy resin. Surface characteristics of jute fibers were confirmed by FTIR and EDX analyses. JF filled polyurethane elastomer (TPU) composites were prepared via extrusion process. The effect of surface modifications of JF on mechanical, thermo-mechanical, melt-flow, water uptake and morphological properties of TPU-based eco-composites were investigated by tensile and hardness tests, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), melt flow index (MFI) test, water absorption measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. Mechanical test results showed that silane and epoxy treated JF additions led to increase in tensile strength, modulus and hardness of TPU. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of TPU rose up to higher values after JF inclusions regardless of treatment type. Si-JF filled TPU exhibited the lowest water absorption among composites. Surface treated JFs displayed homogeneous dispersion into TPU and their surface were covered by TPU according to SEM micro-photographs.

“…Traditionally, bast fibres are extracted using either field (dew) or water retting (Di Candilo et al 2010;Jankauskienė et al 2015). The impact on the quality of the extracted fibres largely depends on environmental factors, like the agro-climatic conditions (i.e., rainfall and temperature), underlying soil, and most importantly the retting duration (Tahir et al 2011;Das et al 2014;Liu et al 2015;Ribeiro et al 2015).…”

“…Field retting is basically a biochemical process, where partial decomposition of plant stems occurs under native conditions. This facilitates the separation of bast fibres from hemp stems during subsequent mechanical processing (decortication) and represents a key process for obtaining high-quality raw materials (Easson and Molly 1996;Tahir et al 2011;Das et al 2014). The main purpose is to degrade the binding materials (i.e., pectin) between the individual fibres and fibre bundles, and other cementing compounds (hemicellulose and lignin) in the ML using a pool of microbiota (Akin 2013;Ribeiro et al 2015).…”

Field retting is an industrial process for extracting valuable bast fibres from hemp. In this study, molecular, chemical, and scanning electron microscopy studies were employed to understand the field retting mechanisms involving microbiota, including microbial community dynamics, hemp colonization, functions/interactions, and hemp biodegradation. This study for the first time revealed the coexistence of bacterial-fungal interactions during retting and showed progressive microbial breakdown of the stems. Using scanning electron microscopy, evidence for microbial activities/interactions within the stems was obtained, which helped to understand hemp retting mechanisms. The collective findings showed that: a) initially, easily accessible food within the hemp stems attracted and supported microbial invasion and decay, with activities influenced by the stem anatomy, chemistry, and morphology; b) filamentous fungi as key players in the early stages remarkably contributed to efficient fibre defibration; c) extended retting enhanced the bacterial activities, including bacterial-fungal interactions and their dominant role within the community; d) bacterial attraction and activities were promoted by bacterial mycophagy with a set of different phenotypic behaviours for nutrients and fungal highways for transport within the stems; and e) bast fibre degradation leading to inferior quality during prolonged retting was caused by ultrastructural modifications to all of the major fibre cell wall layers.

Jute, the second most important natural fibre crop after cotton in the world. Bangladesh occupied the first position for jute fibre production and exportation after India among south-east Asian countries. Tossa jute is cultivated more (80-85%) here among the commercial cultivation of jute and allied fibre crops. It produces quality fibre but yield is low due to stress susceptibility compared to capsularis jute. The self-pollination nature and sexual incompatibility between two jute species (C. capsularis and C. olitorius) cause narrower genetic base and restrict genetic exchange. So, intra specific hybridization using diversified jute germplasms or genetic change will be the best option to the jute breeders for genetic improvement of existing cultivars. Hence, 20 tossa jute genotypes were investigated through field based morphological study (RCBD) and laboratory oriented anatomical study (CRD) for yield and yield attributing morpho-anatomical variability at BJRI during March, 2019 to July, 2020. Among 20 tossa jute genotypes, Acc. 1318, O-043-7-9(G), Acc. 4311, Acc. 1306, O-0411-10-4, O-049-1-3, O-0512-6-2, Acc. 4160 showed good results for yield and yield related morphological traits at 120 days after sowing and stem anatomical traits at 100 days after sowing. Higher significant genotypic correlation coefficient values were recorded than phenotypic associations among all the morphological traits. Plant height, fresh weight, fibre yield content gave high heritability (>80%) in broad sense along with possibility of more genetic advance in percentage. The average inter-cluster distances were higher than the average intra-cluster distances, which shows the presence of wide genetic diversity among the genotypes of different clusters than those of the same cluster. The first three principal components, whose Eigen values are greater than one, accounted for 99.96% of the total variation among the studied characters. The information obtained from this investigation is useful in planning further breeding programme for tossa jute improvement.
