Summary: | A special type of jute fiber woven mat was introduced by a hand loom. Epoxy jute fiber composites were fabricated using the woven fiber mat. A series of jute-hybrid epoxy composites based on the arrangement of the direction of jute fibers, and additional material were introduced to ensure the elevated mechanical properties of the composites. Improved mechanical properties were found in some cases of hybrid epoxy composites. It is discussed that the mechanical behavior is related to the fiber orientation, types of additional materials used in hybrid materials. The purpose of this study is to propose a simple technical method to prepare woven jute fiber mat by hand loom, and to produce epoxy jute fiber, hybrid composite materials to exhibit the elevated mechanical properties. |
