scholarly journals Advancement, Characterization and Analogy of Jute Fabric and E-Glass Fibre Reinforced with Isophthalic Resin Based Composite

In recent years, there has been a growing need for natural fibre reinforced composite materials especially materials with good mechanical properties in order to substitute glass fibre based composite products to showcase a better engineering class for structural applications. Here the properties of jute fabric reinforced composite has been compared and analysed with e-glass fibre matte reinforced composite. The mercerized jute and e- glass fibre mats are treated with isophthalic resin. Charcoal powder has been used as a filler material constituting two percentage of the whole weight of entire composite. Isophthalic polyester resins offer substantially higher strength, better flexibility and chemical resistance. The properties of the jute composite and e-glass composite are determined by a series of tests such as Tensile, Flexural, Impact, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Rate of Burning tests. The newly obtained composites provide a better usage for applications that require a much better physical strength and mechanical properties.

Natural fibre-based thermoset composites are generally lower in strength performance compared to synthetic thermoset composites. Hybridization with some amount of synthetic fibre enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. This study focused on the performance of mechanical properties of hybrid banana/glass fibre reinforced polyester composites. Hybrid composites with different volume ratios of banana to glass fibre were prepared. The reinforcing effect of both fibres in polyester is also evaluated in various fibre loadings. Results showed that both flexural and tensile properties have been improved with the increasing level of overall fibre content loading. Tensile and flexural strength shows great enhancement by the introduction of a slight amount of glass fibre to the banana fibre polyester matrix.

This study deals with design and evaluation of mechanical properties of the I-shape beam made from plain weave fiberglass fabric and epoxy resin. The possibility of production of I-beam with fiberglass laminate stitched layers has been demonstrated and the prototype of glass-fibre-reinforced epoxy I-beam was manufactured. Tensile properties of fiberglass of manufactured samples were investigated. The results showed that the investigated fiberglass composite has a sufficiently high tensile strength comparable to steel. However, the modulus of elasticity of the samples is quite low.
