Interfacial Engineering and Performance Optimization of Jute-Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy LaminatesBy Vaibhav Godase, Amit pandhare, Shivam Pandhare
Abstract: The increasing environmental concerns associated with synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites have driven substantial research interest toward naturally derived, biodegradable fiber alternatives. This study presents a comprehensive mechanical and thermal characterization of jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites fabricated via hand lay-up followed by compression molding. Jute fibers were subjected to alkali treatment using 5 wt% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for 4 hours at ambient temperature to enhance fiber–matrix interfacial bonding …

Mechanical and Thermal Characterization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Structural ApplicationsBy Vaibhav Godase, Amit pandhare, Shivam Pandhare
Abstract: Natural fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional synthetic fiber composites owing to their environmental sustainability, low density, and competitive specific mechanical properties. However, a comprehensive and simultaneous evaluation of both mechanical and thermal performance of jute/sisal hybrid natural fiber epoxy composites under systematic fiber treatment conditions remains insufficiently addressed in the literature. The present study investigates the mechanical and thermal characterization of jute and …
