The interfacial compatibility possessed critical effect on the performance of jute fiber-reinforced composites. In order to improve the interfacial compatibility of jute fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites, jute fibers were treated by alkali treatment, ethylenediamine/alkali treatment and acid/alkali treatment. Through analysis by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, surface energy measurement, and tensile strength test, the acid/alkali treatment was deemed as the most efficient method for improving the surface properties of jute fibers among three kinds of surface treatments. The interfacial compatibility of treated fiber-reinforced composites was enhanced significantly, which attributed to the improvement of surface properties of jute fibers. Due to the acidic hydrolysis of acid treatment, the surface energy of acid/alkali treated fibers was increased by 45.58% compared with the control fibers. The tensile and bending strength of acid/alkali treated fiber-reinforced composites were enhanced by 34.80% and 22.53%, respectively. Therefore, the acid/alkali treatment was potential and competitive surface treatment to enhance the interfacial compatibility of jute fiber-reinforced composites.

The Impact

is present project investigated the impact penetration response of woven jute fiber reinforced composites subjected to wide range of low impact velocities. Hand layout woven jute fibers are thermally compressed to ensure no internal defects formed in the composites. Six layers of woven jutes are stacked together using different fiber orientations [0/q/0]s. Low impact velocities are used ranging between 5 – 20 m/s. Force-time, force-displacement and energy-time curves are obtained automatically during the impact tests. The results are then discussed with considering the composite fragmentations and failure mechanisms. It is found that 00composite orientations capable to absorb sufficiently impact energy for 5 m/s but not for velocity greater than 10 m/s. When fiber orientations used between 15 – 450, the composite impact resistance increased indicating two significant peak forces. These peak forces represent different type of failure mechanisms occurred during the striker progresses.

The Impact

Ongoing studies show that an effective demand for using natural fibers as a substitution of an artificial fiber in fiber-reinforced composites formation has increased their applicability in an industrial area worldwide. The hydrophobic nature of natural fiber makes week adhesion among the cellulose fiber and matrix components; these problems are usually encountered in fiber-reinforced composites production. To overcome such a limitation of a cellulose fiber, specific physical and chemical treatment strategies were advised by researchers around the world for surface modification of natural cellulose fibers. One of the most basic and efficient surface modification approaches adopted today by the researchers was alkali treatment, widely used in natural fiber composites formation. This technique effectively improved the Mechanical property of natural cellulose fiber, such as tensile strength and flexural properties, while the impact strength result was reduced.
