Durability Study of Nanophased Jute-Based Green Composites

Hossain M.K., Dewan M.W., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

Jute fiber reinforced biopol biocomposites with and without nanoclay were manufactured using treated and untreated jute fibers by a compression molding process and their durability study was performed using standard moisture absorption and flexure tests [...]

Surface Modification and Performance Analysis of Jute Based Nanophased Green Composite

Hossain M.K., Dewan M.W., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

The surface modification of jute fibers was accomplished by performing subsequent chemical treatments such as detergent washing, dewaxing, alkali and acetic acid treatment. The morphology of the modified surface was examined using the scanning electron [...]
