Article Synopsis
- Natural-based lignocellulose fibers, like jute, can replace traditional fossil-based fibers in lightweight thermoplastic composites used in industries such as marine and automotive, but they typically have lower mechanical performance.
- By optimizing fiber architecture and using cost-effective manufacturing processes, this study improves the mechanical properties of short jute fiber/polypropylene composites through chemical treatments of the fibers.
- The new composites demonstrated enhanced tensile, flexural, and impact strength due to better fiber packing and compatibility with the polypropylene matrix, supported by theoretical models for stiffness prediction.
