Etude de l’effet des traitements du renfort jute sur le comportement mécanique du composite

Abstract

Plant-reinforced polymer matrix composites have caught the attention of the industrial and socio-economic sector. In our study, jute is chosen for the reinforcement of polyester for reasons related to availability and economy, as well as the renewal of resources. These composites can integrate in a way in several areas. Our study focuses on the effects of fiber treatment temperature on the mechanical behavior of composite (Jute/Polyester).Tensile tests are carried out on the various specimens tested. The mechanical parameters are measured and discussed in relation to the alkaline treatment conditions. The results obtained show that the alkaline treatment with 5% NaOH exhibits better performance for a treatment at 50 C.
