“…Figures indicate that γ irradiation directly affects the internal configuration of the cellulosic fiber and creates some active sites in OF and PP by subtraction of electrons which lead to form OF/PP complex and as a result, better interfacial bonding could occur between them. This complex formation might be the motive behind the enhanced mechanical properties [42]. But above 5.0 kGy dose, the irradiated composites showed reduced mechanical properties.…”

In this study, an attempt has been taken to manufacture okra fiber (OF) composites with varying the fiber content ranging from 25-65% on total weight of the composites and polypropylene (PP) was preferred as matrix material. To fabricate the composites untreated and mercerized fibers were selected. A systematic study was done to observe the mechanical behaviors of the composites such as tensile, impact and bending properties. It was found that treated (mercerized) fiber composites exhibited improved mechanical properties than that of untreated fiber composites. Maximum tensile strength (TS) and bending strength (BS) was examined 38.5 MPa and 72.5 MPa respectively, whereas the highest tensile modulus (TM) and bending modulus (BM) was observed 675 MPa and 5.4 GPa respectively. The optimum impact strength (IS) and hardness value was found to be 22.87 KJ/m 2 and 97 (Shore-A) for mercerized fiber composites containing 45% fiber. The composite samples were exposed to different intensities of γ radiation (2.5 kGy-10.0 kGy) and found significant improvement in the mechanical properties up to 5.0 kGy dose. Water absorption, degradation properties due to heat and soil medium of the composites were also performed. The interfacial property was examined by Microscopic Projector and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and found that the interfacial bonding between matrix material and fiber was enhanced due to the treatment of fibers which authenticate the found mechanical characteristics of the composites.

Jute fabrics such as reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and a mixture of PVC and PP matrices-based composites (50 wt% fiber) were prepared by compression molding. Tensile strength (TS), bending strength (BS), tensile modulus (TM), and vbending modulus (BM) of jute fabrics' reinforced PVC composite (50 wt% fiber) were found to be 45 MPa, 52 MPa, 0.8 GPa, and 1.1 GPa, respectively. The effect of incorporation of PP on the mechanical properties of jute fabrics' reinforced PVC composites was studied. It was found that the mixture of 60% PP and 40% PVC matrices based composite showed the best performance. TS, BS, TM, and BM for this composite were found to be 65 MPa, 70 MPa, 1.42 GPa, and 1.8 GPa, respectively. Degradation tests of the composites for up to six months were performed in a soil medium. Thermo-mechanical properties of the composites were also studied.

“…During composite fabrication at higher (200 o C) temperature, the high viscous PP impregnated into the fiber and PVC which caused better bonding. Though PP has lower TS and BS, several (55) percentage of PP into the PVC can improve the TS and BS and thus indicates synergistic effect in the composites [4]. Actually, PP has melting point of about 170 o C but PVC has 155 o C. The composites were fabricated at 200 o C. At higher temperature, PP became too much viscous and properly mixed with the jute and PVC.…”

“…In addition, the jute is one of the best fibers in terms of resistance, mechanical properties, flexibility. It can be combined with different polymer resins at lower processing temperature [4]. But the reality is that when synthetic fibers came onto the market, most people accepted them because of their mechanical strength and high durability.…”

“…PP is widely used as a matrix material because it has some excellent characters for composite fabrication. It possesses several vital and useful properties as good resistance to fatigue, melting point of 170 °C, transparency, dimensional stability, flame resistance, high heat distortion temperature, and high impact strength, low density, good flex life, good surface hardness, scratch resistance, very good abrasion resistance, and excellent electrical properties [4,5,7]. PP can be used extensively for manufacturing automotive components, home appliances and other industrial products because of its balanced mechanical properties, good process ability and low-cost [8].…”

Abstract:Jute fiber (50 %) reinforced PVC+PP hybrid composites were prepared by injection molding and heat pressing.Mechanical properties (tensile strength, TS; bending strength, BS; tensile modulus, TM; bending modulus, BM; and impact strength, IS) and burning speed of composites were studied. Hybrid composite of 55 % PP and 45 % PVC showed the best results and was selected as desired specimen. TS, BS, TM, BM, IS and burning speed of the selected desired specimen (SDS) was found as 63.6 MPa, 68.7 MPa, 1.38 GPa, 1.76 GPa, 24 KJ/m 2 and 3.2 cm/min respectively. Finer particle size Aluminium trihydrate (ATH) and Zinc borate with Antimony Trioxide (ZB-AT) was used as fire retardants. TS and IS decreased; on the contrary, TM and BM increased with increasing both AT and ZB-AT. But BS decreased with increasing ATH and increased with increasing ZB-AT. Burning speed of SDS reduced to 2.8 cm/min and 2.2 cm/min after using 10 % ATH and 10 % ZB-AT (ZB, 7.5%; AT, 2.5%) respectively.
