Sodium Hydroxide Treatment

Jute fiber has poor compatibility with hydrophobic thermosetting polymeric resin for the development of a biocomposite. In this present study, plain weave jute fabric was treated with 1% sodium hydroxide (owf) in three different time (30, 60 and 90 minutes), temperature (30, 40 and 50℃) and material-to-liquor ratio (1:5, 1:10 and 1:15) as per orthogonal array and the treated jute fabrics were used for the preparation of the biocomposite sheet by hand laying-cum-compression moulding method. Developed biocomposite sheets were evaluated for their mechanical properties as per ASTM standards and results were analyzed by Taguchi model to optimize the sodium hydroxide treatment condition. Results inferred that jute fabric reinforcement treated with 1% sodium hydroxide at 50℃ for 60 minutes in 1:10 material-to-liquor ratio could be the optimum condition to develop the biocomposite sheet with higher mechanical properties than other conditions.

Earthen composites (rammed earth, cob, adobe, daub, CEB...) are experiencing renewed interest from builders due to the many advantages of these building materials, and in particular their eco-friendliness. Nevertheless, the widespreading of these materials, as certified materials and conforming to construction standards, comes against the lack of data concerning their mechanical properties. Indeed, the literature generally gives the average values of the properties without indicating the number of specimens tested neither the distribution of the data. Yet, the mean value of the compressive strength is not enough to assess the reliability of a given earthen composite to build a wall and it would be better to indicate the value of a defined percentile (characteristic value just like with concrete composites). The aim of this paper is to analyze the data about the mechanical properties (tensile and compressive strength) obtained on different formulations of cob including natural fibres or not. The tests performed allowed to determine the probability density function and the average values, the standard deviation and the percentiles, for the various properties.
