Nanotitanium Oxide Particles and Jute‐Hemp Fiber Hybrid Composites: Evaluate the Mechanical, Water Absorptions, and Morphological Behaviors

Abstract

Organic fiber-based biocomposites have gained prominence in a variety of sectors over the last four to five years due to their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Natural fiber-based composites are increasingly being employed in autos, ships, airplanes, and infrastructure projects. The current study will look at the effect of nanotitanium oxide (TiO2) fillers on the properties of hybridised jute-hemp-based composites. In this work, TiO2-filled biocomposites were created using the hand layup method in hybrid jute-hemp composites containing jute fiber mats, woven hemp mats, and epoxy resin. After nanotitanium oxide fillers were injected in various weight proportions, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymers were investigated. The mechanical properties of laminated composites were tested using the ASTM standard. Compared to 2 and 4 wt.% of TiO2, the 6 wt.% was provided the highest mechanical strength. Among the different types of specimen, the E-type specimen (30 wt.% of hemp, 7 wt.% of jute, 57 wt.% of epoxy, and 6 wt.% of TiO2) gives their highest contribution, i.e., for tensile 24.21%, for flexural 25.03%, and for impact 24.56%. The scanning electron microscope was utilized to analyse the microstructures of nanocomposites.

Development and characterization of titanium oxide filled ramie fiber based hybrid composites

“…Similar observations are reported for jute-hemp fiber reinforced epoxy composites and bamboo fiber reinforced polyester composites filled with titanium oxide. 34,35 The shore D hardness values of the composites under this study are measured to be 71.12, 79.23, 87.85, and 95.45 for RFCT-0, RFCT-1, RFCT-2, and RFCT-3 composites, respectively. The results indicate that the hardness of the composites increases with the increase in concentration of titanium oxide.…”

Evaluation of Mechanical Behaviour of Multiwalled Nanotubes Reinforcement Particles in Jute-Glass Fibres Hybrid Composites

“…A 250 gsm woven glass mat with a typical thickness having 0.65 mm is utilized as a strengthened material. GVR fbre industry gave the jute and glass fbres as shown in Figure 1 mats in Madurai, Tamilnadu, and India [18]. Te value of warp and Tex are maintained as 0.25 mm for each fabric, followed by the weaving as 1 m/2 h.…”

“…Te experiment was repeated with the addition of a second interfacial layer of jute. Table 1 shows the list of parameters and their constraints of nanocomposites [18].…”

“…Te strength of the composite was afected by the interfacial layer's stifness, the adhesion components' quality, and their static adherence strength. Tis will help move the stress and elastic deformation from the matrix to the fbres or fllers and from the fbres to the matrix [18,19].…”

“…Te moisture content of numerous composite materials is depicted in Figure 4 [18]. Water updating was signifcant initially for all composite materials, but it has subsequently become nearly constant and has declined in the fnal phase.…”
