Journal ArticleDOI
Properties and modification methods for vegetable fibers for natural fiber composites
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that modified cellulose fiber-polymer interaction mechanisms are complex and specific to every definite system, therefore, a surface modification of the fibers is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possibilities for improving the mechanical properties of jute/epoxy composites by alkali treatment of fibres
Jochen Gassan,Andrzej K. Bledzki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the shrinkage state of jute fibres on the Young's modulus of composite impact damping and yarn toughness has been investigated for both untreated and treated jute/epoxy composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of fiber-surface treatment on the mechanical properties of jute-polypropylene composites
Jochen Gassan,Andrzej K. Bledzki +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of MAH-PP copolymers (graft copolymer of PP and maleic anhydride) as coupling agents in jute-polypropylene composites was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoplastics Reinforced with Wood Fillers: A Literature Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of high moisture absorption by the filler, its poor wettability, as well as the insufficient adhesion between untreated filler and the polymer matrix are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali treatment of jute fibers: Relationship between structure and mechanical properties
Jochen Gassan,Andrzej K. Bledzki +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of tossa jute fibers were improved by using NaOH treatment process to improve the mechanical properties as mentioned in this paper, which led to an increase in yarn tensile strength and modulus of ∼ 120% and 150%, respectively.
