Jute Fabrics

Jute fabrics reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR)-based composites were prepared by conventional hand lay-up technique. Different proportions (5 to 50% by weight) of fibre content was used in preparation of the composite. Tensile Strength (TS), Tensile Modulus (TM), Bending Modulus (BM), Bending Strength (BS), Impact Strength (IS) of the fabricated composites were studied. Upon each addition of fiber content in the matrix, mechanical properties of the composites were increased. The Tensile Strength (TS) of the 5% and 50% fiber reinforced composites was 18 MPa and 42 MPa respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed interfacial properties of the composites and it was revealed that the bond between fiber and matrix was excellent.

Conductive Fillers

As a conductive fillers, graphite nanosheets can be induced by the AC electric field in unsaturated polyester resin and then prepared oriented unsaturated polyester resin/graphite nanosheets composite. We investigate the preparation, configuration and capability of the unsaturated resin/ graphite nanosheets conductive composites and the oriented theory of the graphite nanosheets induced in the electric field. The measures and observation of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), electric current have shown that the graphite nanosheets are oriented by electric field which were randomly dispersed in the polymer matrix at the beginning, and then oriented with their flakes along the electric field in the polyester resin.

Resin Formulation

In this study, the composites of ceramic waste filler polyester were produced with ceramic waste as the filler and unsaturated polyester resin as the matrix. Various weight of filler loads (particle size [180 �m) were used; 0, 28.5, 41 and 50 wt% in view to better understand the effect of filler content on the mechanical, thermal properties and water absorption of the composites. Additionally, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the samples, from the findings, it is noticed an increase in the level of porcelain powder decreased the flexural strength and Hardness and increased the density. The results of water absorption have shown the composites absorbs fewer water. Thermal degradation indicates that the composite is more resistant to temperature than unsaturated polyester matrix due to the effect of porcelain powder incorporated. Moreover, the results reveal an opportunity for using the ceramic waste as filler in unsaturated polyester resin formulation.

Commercial Applications

Jute fabrics reinforced Polypropylene (PP) matrix composite was fabricated by compression molding and Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) matrix composites were also fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The fiber content of the composites was 40% by weight. Mechanical properties between two types of composites were compared. Tensile Strength (TS), Tensile Modulus (TM), Elongation at break (Eb%) , and Impact Strength (IS) of the jute fabrics/PP composites were found to be 47 MPa, 1.2 GPa, 13% and 8 kg/cm, respectively. On the other hand, TS, TM, Eb%, and IS of the jute fabrics/UPR composite were found to be 43 MPa, 1.3 GPa, 10% and 6 kg/cm, respectively. It was found that both composites showed almost similar mechanical properties. After tensile testing, fracture sides of both types of the composites were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the results revealed poor fiber matrix adhesion for jute fabrics with PP and UPR. The fabricated composites became partly biodegradable because of jute (natural fiber) and mechanical properties of both types of composites showed promising results for commercial applications.

Thermal Stability Of

In the present study, unsaturated polyester resins based on castor oil was synthesized. Structure elucidation of the synthesized unsaturated polyester resin was done by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the thermal stability of cured unsaturated polyester resin. Thermogram plot was further utilized to calculate various other parameters such as statistic heat-resistant index (Ts) and the integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT). Comparable properties with respect to commercial resins were reported for the synthesized polymers
