Effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of jute yarns

Abstract

In the last two decades, an increasing interest has been observed for the use of natural fibers such as jute fibers in different applications. These fibers are characterized by their low cost and their availability. They are mainly used in fabric bag manufacturing. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of jute yarns. An experimental study was conducted at different temperatures (22 °C; 80 °C; 105 °C and 150 °C) for 24 h. Each degree was followed by tensile testing of the specimen. Besides, the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to investigate the effect of the temperature on the thermal stability and the thermal degradation of the jute fibers. In addition, the statistical analysis was performed using the method of two and three-parameter Weibull distribution to determine the spatial distribution of the properties. The results showed that there was a degradation of the mechanical properties of the jute yarns heated to high temperature compared to the raw yarns (considered as a specimen exposed to 22 °C). The tensile strain and the Young modulus failed by 36% and 13% respectively for the specimens heated at 150 °C and the failure kinematic of the jute fiber was affected by the temperature of heating. The TGA showed that the thermal stability of the jute yarns was affected by two factors: fibers drying and their changing temperatures.

Perbandingan kekuatan kompresi struktur laminasi dan prepreg dari komposit jute-epoxy

“…Bahan utama dari komposit yang dirancang adalah serat jute sebagai penguat dan epoxy resin sebagai matrik. Serat jute dalam struktur komposit dibedakan yaitu berbentuk anyaman dan benang serat jute [23]. Perbedaan dari jute yang dipergunakan terkait dengan konstruksi komposit yang diproduksi yaitu secara laminate dan preprag.…”

A Review - Studies on Jute Properties, Characteristics and Application in Textile Industry

“…It takes nearly 3 months for the jute plant to reach a height of 12 -15 feet. Jute fibres, yarns, and composites are used to make a variety of products, and as a result, demand for these materials is increasing significantly (2). Jute fibre is a bastfibre derived from the bark of the jute plant that contains three major categories of chemical compounds: cellulose (5863%), hemicellulose (2024%), and lignin (1215%), as well as some other minor constituents such as fats, pectin, and aqueous extract.…”

Analysis of the Correlation Between Crimp Parameters and its Effect on Yarn Strength and Hairiness

“…The characterisation of fibre crimp can generally be divided into static and dynamic parameters [3]. Static parameters describe the geometrical shape of crimp bows, and dynamic parameters describe the tensile fibre behaviour attributed to the crimped shape of the fibre [4].…”
