본 연구에서는 황마 단섬유 강화 폴리유산을 코어 폼으로 하고 연속 유리 섬유 강화 폴리유산을 외곽 스킨으로 하는 샌드위치 패널 구조의 황마 단섬유 강화 폴리유산 복합재료를 제작하였고, 황마 섬유 무게 비에 따른 복합재의 굽힘 특성을 관찰하였다. 코어 폼의 밀도는 0.31-0.67 $g/cm^3$ 기공함량비는 0.51-0.71이었다. 최대 굽힘강도는 황마 섬유 무게비 12.5 wt.%에서 92.7 MPa, 최대 굽힘 탄성계수는 황마 섬유 무게비 30.0 wt.%에서 7.58 GPa 으로 측정되었다. 경제성 분석을 실시했으며 적용 부재의 굽힘 강도를 향상시키기 위한 비용은 황마 섬유 무게 비가 12.5 wt.%일 때 $0.010USD/m^3/MPa$로 계산되었다.

Jute fiber Green Composite의 기계적 향상을 위한 계면특성을 향상시키기 위하여 커플링제를 도입하여 첨가량에 따른 특성변화를 실험적으로 규명하였다. Maleic anhydride grafted popolypropylene(MAPP)는 자연섬유와의 계면특성의 향상에서 물리화학적 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다. MAPP에 의한 용융상태에서의 낮아진 수지의 점도는 흐름성이 향상되어 섬유의 계면과의 접촉 면적을 확대시킨다. 약 80mm의 jute 장섬유 mat에 maleated coupler가 혼합된 PP 복합재의 물성 향상과 열가소성수지의 물리적 변화와의 관계를 고찰하였다. 이 물리적 현상을 유동지수(MI: Melting flow index) 및 점도, contact angle, 복합재료 두께, 계면전단강도, morphology 분석 등의 인자들을 이용하여 기계적 물성 향상에 기여하는 정도를 확인하였다. 특히 유동지수(MI)와 점도, MAPP의 혼합량은, 전당강도(IFSS), 인장 및 굴곡 강도와 인장탄성률의 향상과 매우 관계가 있음을 실험 결과를 통하여 확인하였다.

Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) has attracted much attention for fiber-reinforced polymer composites as a filler material due to high aspect ratio and low charge density. The present study focused on the fabrication of nanocomposites using Vinyl ester and Jute fabric as matrix and reinforcement respectively. The OMMT was uniformly dispersed in vinyl ester resin at 1, 2 and 3 wt%, loading through high speed mechanical stirrer at room temperature and further nanocomposites were manufactured through vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) technique. Effects of OMMT on the mechanical properties of vinyl ester/Jute composites were carefully investigated through tensile, bending and Izod impact tests, which revealed significant improvement in mechanical properties. The morphology of the nanocomposites after tensile test was investigated by SEM which affirmed that OMMT filled nanocomposites has improved interactions with the host matrix than the pure composites. Based on the nature and flame retardancy mechanism, the OMMT slightly improved the flammability property which was clearly explained by horizontal burning test.

Fiber dimensions, their derived values and chemical properties of cotton stalks (Gosypium hirsutum L), jute stick (Corchorus capsularis) and dhancha (Sesbania aculeate) have been examined to assess their suitability for paper production. Cotton stalks have a good derived values especially slender ratio, which is comparable to hardwood. The flexibility coefficient of these three non wood plants is better than hardwood. Anatomical analysis shows higher percentage of fibers and vessels than in general non wood plants. Lignin, $\alpha$-cellulose and pentosan contents in these three nonwood plants are within the range of hardwood. Neutral sugar analysis of cotton stalks, jute stick and dhancha shows that the glucose in the major sugar followed by xylose and mannose. The arabinose and galactose are present in minor amount. Alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation of cotton stalks, jute stick and dhancha wood meal exhibits that these nonwood plant lignins mainly consist of syringyl (S) and guaiacyl (V) units. The S/V ratios are 1.6, 1.2 and 2.1 for cotton stalks, jute stick and dhancha, respectively.

Purpose: The present study investigated the nutritional and organoleptic characteristics of two African leafy vegetables (ALVs)-jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)-at various drying temperatures. Methods: The thin-layer drying of cowpea leaves and jute mallow was studied at various temperatures ($40-100^{\circ}C$) in a convective laboratory dryer, and the nutrient profiles of the dried vegetables were determined. The nutrients considered were vitamins B2 and C, and ${\beta}$-carotene. The level of vitamin C was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), whereas the levels of ${\beta}$-carotene and vitamin B2 were determined by titration. Results: ${\beta}$-carotene was the most stable nutrient, whereas vitamin C was the least stable nutrient in both cowpea leaves and jute mallow. The drying parameters-temperature and time-revealed that temperature had the most profound effect on vegetable nutrient stability. Organoleptic tests were carried out on the fresh and dried vegetable; there were no significant differences in preference between the fresh and dried ALVs (95% confidence interval). Conclusions: The present study revealed that the vegetables can be preserved by drying, and the study could be used as a guide for effective drying of those vegetables.

Due to the higher use of nonrenewable fossil fuel energy, environment friendly sustainable energy from waste materials is attracting attention of the researchers. Considering that, jute stick (JS) biochar has been considered for this study for ecofriendly and sustainable thermal energy storage application. Waste jute sticks (JS), which are being mainly used as a fuel for cooking purpose, have been pyrolyzed to produce porous biochar and have been used for shape stabilization of stearic acid (SA) as phase change material (PCM). SA at 1:1 ratio has been incorporated into the activated JS biochar to concoct shape-stabilized phase change composite (SAJS). The SAJS has been evaluated by different techniques such as Fourier transform-infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The obtained composite PCM has shown excellent shape stability with a high latent heat storage, suggesting its suitability for thermal energy storage applications.

Jute와 PP의 계면 접착력을 향상시키기 위해 추가적인 단계 없이 친 환경적인 공정을 통해 MAPP를 적용하였고 자연섬유의 방향성 또한 부여하여 기존에 제안된 방법보다 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. 전단 속도를 일정하게 변화시켜 기지 수지의 용융점도 측정한 결과, 압출이나 사출 성형과 같이 높은 전단력이 작용하지 않는 고온 프레스에서도 MAPP를 증량함에 따라 섬유와의 결합 가능성을 높일 수 있음을 밝혔다. 더하여 MAPP와 jute 섬유의 계면에서 관능기 간 화학 결합이 생성됨을 FT-IR을 통해 확인하였다. 인장 강도의 경우 섬유 방향에서 높은 값을 보였으며 3 wt% MAPP 함량에서 최적화 되었고 인장 강성에서도 유사한 경향을 가졌다. 굴곡 강도는 인장에 비해 상대적으로 MAPP 함량에 따른 상승효과가 미비하였는데 함침의 영향으로 판단되었다.

Covering rate, visual rating and sod development were evaluated under three natural fiber materials with Phragmites spp. when over a plastic sheet. The results were as follows. (1) The last covering rate was high on jute net, coir mat and on Miscanthus sacchariflorus, respectively while the early covering rate was high on coir mat and on Miscanthus sinensis+perennial ryegrass. (2) The early growth was good on perennial ryegrass but the covering rate gradually turned poor because of summer drought. (3) Sod was highly developed on Phragmites japonica, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinensis compared with other species and mixtures. (4) The covering rate and visual rating were high on natural fiber materials such as coir mat and jute net when compared with on natural fiber materials such as none treatment plots. (5) The natural fibers materials on Phragmites spp. and Miscanthus spp. were effect on sod establishment. Sod coir mat was highly established. (6) The carpet-type sod was best developed on the coir mat.

In this study, composites with polypropylene(PP) and Jute fiber were prepared by compression molding technique. Generally, hydrophilic jute fibers do not adhere well to PP, which is hydrophobic. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene(MAPP) had been widely used as a coupling agent to improve the bonding between ligno-cellulosic fibers and PP. The coupling agent improved the tensile and flexural properties when the mechanical properties were tested by using a UTM. The mechanical properties of natural fiber composites(NFCs) by modified thermoplastics were higher than those of NFCs by unmodified thermoplastics. Fracture surfaces of the composites and the fiber orientations were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical performance of NFCs by modified thermoplastics appeared to be improved by the enhanced interface adhesion between the fiber and the matrix.
