Population structure and relationship analysis is of great importance in the germplasm utilization and association mapping. Jute, comprised of white jute (C. capsularis L) and dark jute (C. olitorius L), is second to cotton in its commercial significance in the world. Here, we assessed the genetic structure and relationship in a panel of 159 jute accessions from 11 countries and regions using 6...

Quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation of microorganisms associated with piling of jute has been studied using raw jute fibre, jute fibre from laboratory bins and fibre samples collected from two jute mills (M/s Bharat Jute Mill and M/s Budge Budge Jute Mill). Bacterial population in raw C. capsularis jute is found to be in the order of 10 per gram of jute fibre and that in raw C. olito...

Metals are known for high ductility and have, been used to design fabricate structural components many years. However, composite materials taking over traditional owing their significant mechanical properties. Fiber-reinforced composites exhibit lower failure strain, resulting in brittle failure, limiting application where is desired. In this study, an effort has made design, fabricate, test co...

Jute fibers have been studied for their numerous properties and, recently, much attention has paid to the possibility of using them as reinforcing material in cement based matrices structural engineering applications. In context reinforcement methods, use composite materials reinforced with synthetic is now quite common, due light weight, versatility and adaptability. However, recent years, sci...

In this research, the effect of different matrix materials (epoxy and vinylester) on mechanical properties Basalt, Jute, Glass fiber-based hybrid composites were analyzed mechanically morphologically. The test results achieved by Tensile Vickers hardness test, while morphologic images obtained Scanning Electron Microscopy. Basalt fiber fabric, Jute fabrics 86 gr/m² 100 used as reinforcement ele...

The chemical composition of several non-woody plant fibers (bast fibers from flax, hemp, kenaf, jute; leaf fibers from sisal, abaca and curaua; and giant reed), which are used as raw materials for pulp and papermaking, has been evaluated. Particular attention was paid to the composition of the lipophilic compounds and the structure of the lignin polymer since they are important components of th...

To reduce the antagonistic effect of jute fibre on the setting and hydration of jute reinforced cement, modified jute fibre reinforcement would be a unique approach. The present investigation deals with the effectiveness of mild alkali treated (0.5%) jute fibre on the setting and hydration behaviour of cement. Setting time measurement, hydration test and analytical characterizations of the hard...

Polymer composites containing natural fibers are receiving growing attention as possible alternatives for composites containing synthetic fibers. The use of biodegradable matrices obtained from renewable sources in replacement for synthetic ones is also increasing. However, only limited information is available about the creep behavior of the obtained composites. In this work, the tensile creep...

Polyester has been used as a prosthetic socket base. It is well documented that the raw material of base should have exhibited good mechanical properties. Prosthetic device connects an artificial limb with amputee part. In this work, seven laminated composites were prepared using vacuum technique from polyester resin and reinforced Jute, Carbon, Glass, Perlon fibers. The objective study to manu...
