Abstract

Nowaday’s Natural Fiber Composites owing importance because of biodegradability, lightweight and strength, etc. This investigation proposed to identify the moisture absorption of natural jute fiber composites. The samples were prepared with epoxy and hardener taken constant in 10:1 ratio; fiber content increased to 5, 10, 15, and 20 g, respectively. The absorption test was initially conducted in distilled water, and then, different chemical compositions prepared with pellets of Hcl, NaCl, and NaOH in 100 ml were investigated.
