Abstract:

Jute is a natural fiber occupying second place in economic importance and industrial applications only after cotton. Jute fiber is one of the most common biodegradable natural fibers which successfully replaced the synthetic and glass fibers. Jute is a long, soft, shiny bast fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. The present experimental research is done to investigate the physicochemical, mechanical properties, and characterization of Jute fibre. It is observed that the jute fiber has cellulosed content of 54.81% and lignin content 12.4%. Tensile strength of the fiber is found to be 31.14 cN/tex with fiber elongation of 1.9%. These are important properties which effect on the functionality and utility of the end products. The fiber exhibits functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, aldehyde, stretching aromatic ester, primary alcohol, alkene, and halogen compounds in the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) spectra reveals fragile fracture with the presence of gummy and natural impurities as well as the outer epidermal layer of jute fibers. Jute fiber has several attractive advantages over synthetic and glass fiber like as low processing cost, low density, stiffness easily available, excellent mechanical properties, and low production energy required Jute fiber is widely used now-a-days both in the industry as well as in the manufacture of various value-added materials for domestic use.
