In time of increased concern for environment security and global warming, the value of natural fibers has significantly enhanced. Environmental consciousness is encouraging the scientific research for sustainable use of natural fiber for long time without rotting and microbial infection. As jute fiber is now widely used in the building materials, p...

... weight percentage gain (WPG) increased with the rot retardant (RR) chemical concentration as shown in Figure 4.1. This is due to the participation of large amount of rot retardant chemical in the reaction with increase in chemical concentration. ...
Context 2
... increasing chemical concentration, the Cu content increased linearly (Figure 4.3) because the adsorption of Cu was pH dependent [3,12]. The adsorption increased as the pH increased from 2 to 5. ...
Context 3
... variation in moisture absorption of control and chemically treated jute fiber as a function of time for different RR treatment is shown in Figure 4.4). It is evident that the initial rate of moisture absorption increased with the increase of time. ...

... case of distilled water, the chemically treated fiber became more hydrophobic with chemical concentration. Control fibers showed higher adhesion force (Figure 4.5 (a)) and were most hydrophobic. With increase in chemical concentration, adhesion force decreased ( The interaction between the jute fiber and the copper salt treated fiber with water was investigated to provide a qualitative observation of wetting characteristics. ...
Context 7
... contrast, copper salt treatment permitted lower wetting of the fiber surface and lower tendency for rapid absorption of water into the fiber. Due to the decrease of wettability, the drop size also decreased with the chemical concentrations [3] (Figure 4.5 (ii)). ...

Smart and sustainable natural fiber‐based composites are of great interest due to their biodegradability, recyclability, and environmental benefits over synthetic fiber composites. In addition, the environmental impact of plastics and synthetic fibers are widespread and substantial, as they can stay in the environment for hundreds of years and cont...

In this paper, we have investigated and studied the effect of thermal stress on the fiber–matrix interface damage of three new hybrid biocomposite and biocomposite materials. Our genetic simulation based on Weibull probabilistic models showed that the jute–Alfa/PEEK (PEEK: thermoplastic matrix—polyetheretherketone) hybrid biocomposite material is m...

Passive fishing gears such as pots and traps can be constructed with a section of netting made from natural fibers. In the event the fishing gear is lost or abandoned, these fibers deteriorate which effectively disables the fishing gear and allows organisms which accidentally enter the gear, an opportunity to escape without harm. This study evaluat...

In research, there are many advanced methods in material science but attention should be kept on some of the areas. One such area is natural-reinforced composites. In this work, the natural fiber is bamboo fiber along with filler material. Fly ash has been taken into consideration. Extraction of fibers from jute, coir, and bamboo belongs to this ca...
