Mechanical properties study of jute fiber reinforced polyester

الملخص EN

This work presents the mechanical properties of un saturated polyester resin reinforced bidirectionally (0º -90°) by jute and glass fibers singly and in combination as a hybrid laminates.

The results show that the jute reinforced laminates have much better properties than the resin alone, but the properties are inferior to those of glass – reinforced plastics.

The most appropriate role for the jute fibers is, perhaps, to use them as "filler" fibers in combination with glass fibers where the strength and modulus requirements are not very demanding.
