Comparative Study of Physical And Elastic Properties of Jute And Glass Fiber Reinforced LDPE Composites

ABSTRACT - Jute fiber reinforced low density polyethylene LDPE composites and glass fiber reinforced LDPE composites were prepared at variable proportions using compression molding technique at 120 C. Few physical and mechanical properties such as bulk density water absorption tensile strength elongation at break Eb Youngs modulus flexural stress and strain and tangent modulus of both composites were studied and compared. Throughout the study it was revealed that glass composites had better mechanical stability as compared to LDPE jute composites.
