TLDR
In this paper, the nature of jute fiber, productivity, advantages, disadvantages, its composition etc have been described and compared with the glass fiber, and the role of Jute composite as wood substitute is explained.Abstract:
This article consists of the two parts. In the first part the nature of jute fiber, productivity, advantages, disadvantages, its composition etc. have been described. The jute fiber is also compared with the glass fiber. Inspite of some advantages, this natural fiber possess some drawbacks and thus needs chemical modification. For modification of fiber-matrix interaction i.e.to reduce jute polymer interactions and to facilitate wetting, the use of compatibilisers is also mentioned. In the second part different types jute composites have been described. The role of jute composite as wood substitute is explained. The different methods of jute composite manufacture with its potentials & prospects are also described in a nutshell.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the degree of adhesion at the fibre-matrix interface to the mechanical properties of the composites was evaluated and partial delignification of jute strands by means of NaOH treatment was carried out and the corresponding composites determined, which resulted in an increase of the strength and stiffness of the jute strand/starch composites.

Introduction To Composite Materials
TL;DR: The combination of materials to form a new material system with enhanced material properties is a well documented historical fact as discussed by the authors, which is why many artisans from the Mediterranean and Far East used a form of composite technology in molding art works which were fabricated by layering cut paper in various sizes for producing desired shapes and contours.
