In this study, the loss of quality from the oxidative thermal decomposition of jute fiber was explored during the production of reinforced composite materials. Amino silicone oil was used to modify jute fiber, which was then subjected to thermogravimetric analysis. The modified fiber's thermal decomposition temperature was found to be 271 °C, enhancing the composite's thermal stability.

- Vehicle emission control policies have effectively reduced tailpipe particulate emissions, but non-tailpipe emissions from sources like brake and tire wear have become more significant.
- A new sampling method reflecting real-world driving conditions was developed to study these non-tailpipe emissions, focusing on factors that impact tire and brake wear.
- The study found specific emission rates for both brake and tire wear particles, providing valuable data to improve emission models and their accuracy in predicting particulate emissions.
