Abstract


In this study, bleached and unbleached jute were used along with PVC to develop a strong, light and biodegradable composite. Jute mat-PVC composites were prepared by using hot press molding at temperature 150oC and pressure 150KN. Series of experiments were conducted to find the best combination of composite. Physical, mechanical and thermal properties of prepared composites were studied by Universal Testing Machine, Rebound hardness tester, Micro hardness tester, TGA/DTA and TMA analyzer. Highest bulk density (0.98gm/cc) of composites obtained when ratio of jute mat: PVC was 1:2. When PVC remained in the both sides of the composite (PBP), maximum tensile strength (23.125 MPa) was noticed. Hardness of the bleached jute mat PVC composite at the ratio 1:2 was found 455.2. Thermal stability of bleached and unbleached jute mat-PVC composites at the ratio 1:2 was better than the ratio of 2:1. In X-ray diffraction studies, peaks were found at the 2θ value 22.20° for bleached jute mat and 17.94o for PBP composite, where intensity of peaks of bleached jute mat-PVC composite at the ratio 1:2 decreased because of the presence of PVC on both sides of composite. Bleached jute mat-PVC composites showed higher thermal, mechanical and physical properties than unbleached composites.
