Abstract:

In this work, jute and bamboo fiber is used as reinforcement to prepare hybrid composites. The alkali treatment of both the fibers are carried out and the strength of composites prepared with the alkali treated fiber is compared with the composites made from untreated fibers. The bamboo fibers are chopped and pulverized and added to matrix while the jute fiber is used in continuous form. Tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, thermal absorptivity test is carried along with the flammability test. The tensile strength of jute –bamboo-epoxy composite (JBEC) with untreated fibers is observed to be 12.21 MPa while the tensile strength of jute-epoxy composite (JEC) with untreated fiber composite is observed to be 11.72 MPa. Further, the alkali treatment of fiber increases the tensile strength of both the JEC and JBEC by 8%. About 11.12% rise in tensile strength in JEC and 14.35% rise in JBEC is observed due to alkali treatment of fibers. JBEC with alkali treated fibers [JBEC(AT)] shows 42.5HV hardness, while JBEC shows the hardness of 40.2HV. The hardness of JEC increased from 31.3HV to 35.5HV due to alkali treatment. JBEC and JEC with alkali treated fibers [JBEC(AT), JEC (AT)] shows higher thermal absorptivity than JBEC and JEC owing to the fact that higher thermal conductivity of bamboo fibers. The JBEC(AT) shows an ignition temperature of 301°C, while JBEC starts burning at a temperature of 285.6°C. JEC starts burning at 256.56°C and JEC burns by 248.52°C.
