| Summary: | Due to enhanced mechanical strength, superior flame
resistance, and decreased gas permeability, montmorillonite
nanoclay has been introduced to the jute-polyester resin composite
materials for structural application. Long-fiber Bangla
tossa special jute is being used as reinforcement materials along
with 1, 3, and 5% addition of nanoclay within the matrix-fiber
mixture to find the optimum percentage of nanoclay. These
doped hand lay-up-processed plates are used to made samples
for dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetry testing
as per ASTM standards. Temperature-induced weight loss due
to thermal decomposition was measured and char residue was calculated up to 1000 °C, where 5% added nanoclay samples showed better thermal stability. Viscoelastic properties through storage modulus and loss modulus showed better stability with 1% nanoclay-added composite in dynamic mechanical analysis.Moisture and temperature did not affect the tested samples significantly
in diminutive exposure for 1% nanoclay-added samples
even though there is a loss of storage modulus 12 to 30%
for 3 and 5% nanoclay-added samples, respectively. |
