Mechanical Characterization of Used Jute Fiber Pmc Influenced with Chemical Treatment

The current work mainly focuses on identifying optimal chemical treatment for used jute, for treatment NaOH at three concentrations (20,30,40) with different treatment durations (20,40,60) considered. For post-treatment, three different types of chemicals (Alkaline, Kmno4, BenzylChloride) are taken for the study. The Taguchi technique is used to design the experiments and optimize the parameters. The results have shown that the tensile properties are better for UJE composite treated with 30% kmno4 and 60 min Treatment time, flexural properties are better for 40% kmno4 and 40min treatment time, impact properties for 30% Benzyl chloride and 40min treatment time these values are correlated with experimental results and shown good agreement.
