Abstract

Jute fiber-reinforced melamine composites (16–35% fiber) were prepared by hot press at 125°C for 10 min at 8 MT pressure. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, bending strength, bending modulus and impact strength of the composites (16% fiber) were found to be 44 MPa, 532 MPa, 112 MPa, 1.4 GPa and 13 kJ/m2, respectively. Effect of gamma radiation on the composites was investigated. Water uptake properties of the irradiated composites were found to improve significantly. Interfacial properties of the composites were investigated by SEM and were revealed that fiber matrix adhesion was quite good.
