Mechanical Properties of Hollow Glass Microspheres Filled Jute Woven Comingled Composites

Abstract:

Hollow glass microsphere (HGM) filled jute composites were fabricated using woven comingled fabric. Tensile, drop weight impact and Charpy impact tests were conducted to study the effects of HGM to the jute laminates. The tensile properties were enhanced with the addition of 1.5 % HGM (19 % tensile strength and 6 % modulus) while further addition of HGM up to 3 % decreased the tensile properties (16 % tensile strength and 19 % modulus). The impact strength was improved by 10 % with the incorporation of 1.5 % HGM and an increase of 19 % was observed in the 3 % HGM composites compared to the control composites.
