Development and mechanical characterization of jute/polypropylene/coir composites
-
R. Uzwalkiran
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to study the mechanical potential of poly propylene, jute and coir fiber based composites by conducting experiments. Polypropylene, polypropylene reinforced with jute and polypropylene reinforced with jute and coir composites are three types of composite specimens that were developed using the injection molding method. Experimental results show that the incorporation of jute and coir fibers into the polypropylene matrix has resulted in an average improvement in the tensile, flexural and impact properties of the natural fiber composites
