Recent Developments

The popularity of jute-based bio and hybrid composites is mainly due to an increase in environmental concerns and pollution. Jute fibers have low cost, high abundance, and reasonable mechanical properties. Research in all-natural fibers and composites have increased exponentially due to the environment concerns of the hazards of synthetic fibers-based composites. Jute based bio and hybrid composites have been extensively used in number of applications. Hybrid jute-based composites have enhanced mechanical and physical properties, reasonably better than jute fiber composites. A detailed analysis of jute-based bio and hybrid composites was carried out in this review. The primary aim of this review paper is to provide a critical analysis and to discuss all recent developments in jute-based composites. The content covers different aspects of jute-based composites, including their mechanical and physical properties, structure, morphology, chemical composition, fiber modification techniques, surface treatments, jute based hybrid composites, limitations, and applications. Jute-based composites are currently being used in a vast number of applications such as in textiles, construction, cosmetics, medical, packaging, automobile, and furniture industries.

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of volume fraction on mechanical and physical properties such as tensile, flexural, impact, interlaminar shear strength, void content and water absorption of flax and bamboo fibers reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. Flax and bamboo fibers reinforced epoxy resin matrix hybrid composites have been fabricated by compression molding techniques. The hybrid composites were fabricated with different volume fraction of fibers. SEM analysis on the hybrid composite materials was performed to analyze the bonding behavior of materials and internal structure of the fractured surfaces. The effect of chemical treatment of flax and bamboo fibers was verified by FTIR analysis. The results showed that the tensile, impact, flexural and ILSS are maximum for 40:0 (flax: bamboo) hybrid composites. The void content decreased for 20:20 (flax:bamboo) composites due to tightly packed flax fiber and more compatibility towards epoxy resin.

Fibers embedded in the matrix of another material are the best example of modern day composite materials. Hybrid Composites made out of an amalgamation of Natural Fibers such as banana, jute, and coir along with glass fiber embedded in polymers have potential applications in automotive, aircraft and marine industries for their unique characteristics like high specific strength, light weight, design flexibility, corrosion resistance, biodegradability and low cost. In this work, epoxy hybrid composites reinforced with glass fiber mats and banana, jute, coir fibers of random lengths between 10-25 mm are prepared by varying their compositions in terms of weight percentage. The composites are fabricated by hand lay-up process and cut into test specimens as per ASTM Standards. Their mechanical characteristics such as Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, Impact Strength, Hardness, Density and Water Absorption Capacity are evaluated and analysed.

Potential Use

India is one of the largest producers of jute, its potential use in many branches of engineering should be developed for the prosperity of the nation. The recent trends in utilizing the natural fibers has increased due to its advantages over synthetic fibers due to low cost, low environment hazard and easy availability. The properties of the fiber is improved by treating the jute fiber with alkali and latex polymer. Since, very few studies been conducted using the treated jute fiber concrete, an experimental work was carried with 0.6% as optimum percentage of treated jute fibers based on the mechanical properties of concrete. The influence of flexural characteristics of concrete was compared with control beams and beams cast with fibers in whole area and also only in tension zone of beam for M20 and M25 concrete grade. The beams with fibers of whole area had better strength, stiffness characteristic than the control beam and the beam with fibers in tension zone only. The initial cracking load was increased by 12.92% and 11.23 % and ultimate load was increased by 6.94% and 7. 20% for the beams cast with fibers in whole area for M20 and M25 grade of concrete, respectively.

Kenaf Composites

The use of natural fiber as reinforcement in polymer composites has gained importance recently due to environmental concern and its abundance availability from agricultural crops and wood industry [1]. Many advantages offered by natural fibers over synthetic fibers include low density, greater deformability, low cost per unit volume, recyclability and biodegradability [2-3]. In addition, the mechanical properties of natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, sisal and kenaf are comparable with glass fiber in respect of strength and modulus [4]. Hence, many studies have been carried out to replace the synthetic fiber for composite preparation.

Sisal Fibers

The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites is replacing the use of synthetic fibers, especially from an environmental standpoint. Indeed, natural fibers are biodegradable and renewable, with no aggression to the environment. Moreover, they are worldwide abundant with relatively low cost. It was found that fine fibers of sisal, with the thinnest diameters can achieve tensile strength on the order of 1000 MPa. In this work, tensile specimens were prepared with 30% in volume of sisal fibers with diameters between 0.1 and 0.10mm incorporated in a continuous and aligned way into epoxy matrix. The results showed a significant increase in tensile strength and elastic modulus of the composites as a function of the incorporated amount of thinner sisal fibers.
