Effect of chemical treatments and coupling agents on the properties of unidirectional jute fiber reinforced polypropylene composite

Due to different chemical nature of jute and polypropylene, their blended composite materials often show failures behavior when applied in load bearing purposes. The aim of the research is to improve the properties of unidirectional jute fiber (JF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite. Unidirecti...
