Development leads to an increment in the demand for energy. Conventional sources of energy are fulfilling our energy demands but they are crossing environmental barriers resulting in adverse climatic change. Renewable source of energy is becoming popular as a solution to the energy crisis. To reduce the gap between energy demand
This article presents the research outcomes in Jute-Palm (J-P) fibers reinforced with polymer resin. ASTM standards were followed in preparing the composites of Woven and Random J-P. The tensile, impact and flexural strengths, and hardness properties were studied using the standard test setup. The results have evidenced that the woven fiber reinforcement polymer composite gives the better mechanical characteristics compared to the random fiber arrangement. The tensile characteristics, flexural strength, impact strength and hardness of the woven composite were enhanced by 6.26 MPa, 14.27 MPa, 6 J/cm and 11 RHN, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
