Effect of Surface Treatment on Creep Property of Jute Fiber Reinforced Green Composite under Environmental Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, effect of surface treatment on creep property of green composite under environmental temperature was investigated. Jute fiber was used as reinforcement. PLA (polylactic acid) was used as matrix. Surface treatments were conducted using 5 % solution of silane coupling agent and PVA (polyvinyl alcohol). The flexural test was conducted under 25°C environment. The flexural creep test was conducted for 50 hours at 25, 40 and 50°C environment. As a result, the flexural property of composite increased by the surface treatments. And the surface treatments affected the adhesion of fiber/resin interface. Creep strains of surface-treated jute fiber/resin composites were lower than that of virgin composite. The creep strain was decreased by the treatments. The effects are confirmed under various temperature conditions.
