J0407-2-1 Molding Conditions and Mechanical Properties of Jute Fiber Reinforced Green Composite

Abstract

In this study, molding condition and tensile properties of jute fiber reinforced composite were examined. Before tensile test, specimens have an offset twist. As a result, following results are obtained. In the case of jute fiber, the effect of twist deformation to tensile strength is not great. As the molding temperature increases, the strength of the composite increases. The reason is the crystallization 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 due to the delamination.
