Roughness plays an important role in identifying how the real object interacts with the surrounding. The rough surface gets wear easily, so therefore the object manufacturing sector needs to get concentrate in it. Nowadays composite plays an important role as leading components with some good properties. So, the composite manufacturer needs to get more concentration on cutting technology. Other cutting technology, the tool wear is the most important drawbacks need to be considered. There is some non-traditional machining process in which the cutting tool is not used in it. In this work we use Abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) because it is one of the most used non-traditional machining process, which has no cutting tool and the mixture of abrasive particle of garnet 80 mesh and high-pressure water from the nozzle is used to cut the workpiece with some following parameters like stand-off distance (Sd), feed rate (Vf) and water pressure (P). The jute fiber reinforced polyester composite (JF/UPR) fabricated by compression moulding which is used for measuring surface roughness (Ra) and also to find the minimum Ra.

In this study, molding condition and tensile properties of jute fiber reinforced composite were examined. PVA resin was used as matrix which is one of the biodegradable resin. Before tensile test, specimens have an offset twist. The tensile test after twist of jute fiber cloth was also conducted. As a result, following results were obtained. In the case of jute fiber cloth, the effect of twist deformation to tensile strength is not great. The reason is thought that the fiber cloth is flexible and easy to deform in this form. In the case of composite, molding time has an effect to the tensile properties. As the molding temperature increases, the tensile strength increases. So, the diffraction intensity was measured. The reason of effect to the strength is thought that the crystallization occurred in the matrix. When the molding temperature is so high, fiber has degradation, and the strength of the composite decreases. As the degree of twist increases, the strength decreases. The reasons are the delamination between layers and debonding between fiber and matrix.

: The research on jute fiber reinforced polymer composites is an emergent concern with the development of new materials due to its significant properties like economical, partially biodegradable and environment friendly. It is wondered that the hydrophilic nature of jute fiber negatively affects the interfacial interaction with hydrophobic polymeric materials in the composite which then affects the resultant mechanical, microstructural and physico-chemical absorption properties. In order to overcome this fact, researchers have been carried out some techniques for fiber surface chemical treatments. On the other hand, due to the low processing costs and design flexibility, thermoplastics deal many benefits over thermoset polymers, and polyethylene shows excellent processing behaviors such as: low density, low cost, considerable flex life, outstanding surface hardness, scratch resistance and good electrical insulator. Beside the traditional thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, montmorillonite nanoclay are also receiving attention to manufacture fiber polymer nanocomposites for industrial and household applications as well. The review is considered to highlight the progress of jute fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The study also focuses on the several features of juter polymer composites and nanocomposites as a function of fiber chemical treatments.

AbstractMechanical properties of fiber reinforcement that can be obtained by the introduction of basalt fibers in jute fiber-reinforced polyester composites have been analyzed experimentally. Basalt/jute fiber-reinforced hybrid polymer composites were fabricated with a varying fiber percentage by using compression molding techniques. The fabricated composite plates were subjected to mechanical testing to estimate tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength of the composites. The effect of fiber content on basalt/jute fiber in the composites has been studied. Addition of jute fiber into basalt fiber composite makes it a cost-effective one. Incorporation of basalt fiber into the composites was at approximately 10%, 20%, up to 90%, and the jute fiber percentage was reduced from 90%, 80%, to 10% correspondingly. Mechanical properties were investigated as per ASTM standards. Tensile and flexural strengths were tested by using a computer-assisted universal testing machine, and impact strength by using an Izod impact tester. It has been observed that the addition of jute fiber to the basalt fiber polyester composites enhanced the mechanical properties. Water absorption of hybrid composites was also analyzed and was found to be proportional to fiber percentage.
