A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the most appropriate and widely used natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) and their applications is presented in this paper. But, the results of the review are limited due to the high water absorption, inferior fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties of NFPCs.

The Influence of Oligomeric Siloxane Concentration on the Mechanical Behaviors of Alkalized Jute/Modified Epoxy Composites

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of resin modification processes on mechanical properties of jute fabrics and modified epoxy composites was examined. And it was shown that the improved adhesion between the fiber and the matrix may be a result of modification of epoxy matrix with an oligomeric siloxane.
