Jute fabrics reinforced Polypropylene (PP) matrix composite was fabricated by compression molding and Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) matrix composites were also fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The fiber content of the composites was 40% by weight. Mechanical properties between two types of composites were compared. Tensile Strength (TS), Tensile Modulus (TM), Elongation at break (Eb%) , and Impact Strength (IS) of the jute fabrics/PP composites were found to be 47 MPa, 1.2 GPa, 13% and 8 kg/cm, respectively. On the other hand, TS, TM, Eb%, and IS of the jute fabrics/UPR composite were found to be 43 MPa, 1.3 GPa, 10% and 6 kg/cm, respectively. It was found that both composites showed almost similar mechanical properties. After tensile testing, fracture sides of both types of the composites were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the results revealed poor fiber matrix adhesion for jute fabrics with PP and UPR. The fabricated composites became partly biodegradable because of jute (natural fiber) and mechanical properties of both types of composites showed promising results for commercial applications.

This research work aims to fabricate bamboo fabric reinforced polyester composites (BFRPCs) and investigate the mechanical and degradation properties of BFRPCs. Composite samples were prepared using hand lay-up technique. Bamboo fabric was used as reinforcement material, unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was used as matrix and Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) was used as initiator which was employed as 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4% concentration. The mechanical properties of the BFRPC samples such as tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM) and impact strength (IS) were conducted. The degradation behaviors of the composites in soil burial, immersed in alkaline water and saline water were also evaluated. The BFRPC sample with 2 (%) MEKP concentration showed better tensile properties with TS and TM values of 39 MPa and 744 MPa respectively. For the 1 (%) MEKP concentration, the maximum values of BS, BM and IS were found to be 62.8 MPa, 1229 MPa and 25.7 kJ/m2 respectively. In the case of soil burial degradation the BFRPC sample with 1 (%) MEKP concentration shows better performance against loss of TS. No significant effect was found on the alkaline and saline water degradation properties of BFPRC for the variation of MEKP concentration. With the increase of all types of degradation time, decrease the tensile strength of all BFRPC samples.

In this study, the composites of ceramic waste filler polyester were produced with ceramic waste as the filler and unsaturated polyester resin as the matrix. Various weight of filler loads (particle size [180 �m) were used; 0, 28.5, 41 and 50 wt% in view to better understand the effect of filler content on the mechanical, thermal properties and water absorption of the composites. Additionally, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the samples, from the findings, it is noticed an increase in the level of porcelain powder decreased the flexural strength and Hardness and increased the density. The results of water absorption have shown the composites absorbs fewer water. Thermal degradation indicates that the composite is more resistant to temperature than unsaturated polyester matrix due to the effect of porcelain powder incorporated. Moreover, the results reveal an opportunity for using the ceramic waste as filler in unsaturated polyester resin formulation.

Chicken Feather

The influence of chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of treated chicken feather fibre-reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (TCFF-UPR) composites was studied in this research. Redundant portions of chicken from poultry farms are comprehensively contaminating the environment. To minimize environmental pollution, these redundant portions need to use for the production of other materials. In this study, we used chicken feather for the preparation of useful composites combining with unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) to reduce environmental pollution. The composites were prepared successfully by conventional hand lay up technique using modified chicken feather as the reinforcing phase of composites. For preparing composites different percentages (2, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15% by weight) of fibre were used. Attained tensile test results expressed significant enhancement in the tensile properties of composites, with the optimum combination of tensile strength presented by 5 wt% , tensile modulus presented by 10 wt% untreated chicken feather bio-fibre reinforcement and bending strength by 5 wt% chicken feather bio-fibre reinforcement.

Weave Structure

This paper represents a comparative study of the different weave structures of jute woven fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composites. The weave structures were selected as plain (1/1), twill (2/1), twill (3/1) and basket (2/2). Composites (50% fiber by wt.) were prepared by using hand lay-up technique. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength (TS), bending strength (BS) and impact strength (IS) of the composites were evaluated and compared. It was found that basket weave/UPR based composite showed the highest mechanical properties. The optimum value of TS, BS, TM, BM and IS of the composite were found to be 47 MPa, 80 MPa, 1.4 GPa, 4.8 GPa and 27 KJ/m2.To find out the effect of yarn density on mechanical properties of the composites, 2/1 twill structure was selected and found significant improvement in the mechanical properties with the increase of Ends/Inch (EPI) and Picks/Inch (PPI) in the fabric. Water uptake and degradation behavior in aqueous medium of the composites was also observed.

Two types of composites:(1) pineapple fabric reinforced polyester resin (Pineapple/PR) and (2) jute fabric reinforced polyester resin (Jute/PR) were prepared and the mechanical properties investigated for various gamma radiation doses ranging from 100-500 krad. Properties like tensile strength, Young’s modulus, elongation-at-break, bending strength, bending modulus and impact strength were increased significantly by 19%, 32%, 45%, 32%, 47% and 20%, respectively, at a dose of 300 krad for Pineapple/PR, and by 47%, 49%, 42%, 45%, 52% and 65%, respectively, at a dose of 200 krad for the Jute/PR composite in comparison to the non-irradiated composite. Gamma radiation improved the mechanical properties, but overdoses of radiation even caused a reduction in them.
