Jute textile is made from natural fibres and is known for its strength and durability. To determine if jute could be used as a substrate for microstrip antennas, its electromagnetic characteristics (permittivity and loss tangent) are measured in the band of 1 GHz to 5 GHz. The obtained data are used to compare the performances of a simple rectangular patch antenna resonating at 2.45 GHz on jute...

The need for a “systemic” approach to reduce both carbon footprint and seismic vulnerability of the built environment is clearly evident nowadays. Therefore, use bio-based composites, gaining consensus as sustainable solution due their low environmental impact promising properties construction material. This paper investigates performance raw jute fiber threads in view possible thermal insulati...

45 Abstract— This paper present the development of composite flush door shutter for ecological purpose (eco-composite) using natural fibre like bamboo, jute and their basic mechanical properties. Here, 100 percent indigenous technologies were applied to make flush door shutter of solid core type. Different thermosetting resin adhesives were used as matrix at different stage. The experimental re...

Although jute fiber-reinforced PLA composites show strong application prospects, their low mechanical properties limit applications to some extent. In this paper, nano-SiO2 particles as well nano SiO2 modified by coupling agents which can efficiently improve the strength and toughness of composite materials are introduced into matrix. The bending, stretching thermal designed jute/PLA nonwoven w...

The study was conducted to assess the impact of traditional jute retting process on the fish health and fish biodiversity in the six upazilas of Chandpur district, Bangladesh. Data were collected from respondents through face to face interviews and focus group discussions. All of the jute farmers in the study area used traditional water retting methods to extract fibres and these methods were e...

Bangladesh is one of the largest exporters of jute which is commonly processed with mineral Jute Batching Oil (JBO). JBO-processed jute products (especially food grade packaging item) have poor acceptability worldwide mainly due to their unpleasant odor, texture and the possible presence of carcinogenic compounds Foreign market has demanded replacement of mineral JBO and it is high time not to ...

The role of microorganisms obtained from jute (Corchorus spp.) in the retting of dry ribbons of jute was determined. Efficiency of fungus on retting of green ribbon and dry ribbon of jute was also examined. Attempt was made to determine the effect of nature of the harvested jute plants on the production of cuttings and improvement of their fibre quality, and the impact of stem-water ratio and r...

The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of introducing jute yarn on the mechanical properties of concrete. Jute fibre is produced abundantly in Bangladesh and hence, very cheap. The investigation on the enhancement of mechanical properties of concrete with jute yarn as reinforcement, if enhanced, will not only explore a way to improve the properties of concrete, it will also exp...

The present study was conducted to estimate the relative profitability of growing aus rice and jute and to determine the resource use efficiency in the production of these crops in three selected village of Raipura upazila in Narsingdi. A total of 60 farmers were interviewed to collect primary data of which 30 farmers were produced aus rice and another 30 farmers were produced jute. Total costs...

In this study, the effect of different curing temperatures (60°C,80°C, and 100°C) on mechanical characteristics Jute Glass fiber-based hybrid composites were analyzed mechanically, physically, morphologically. fiber fabric glass fabrics (49 gr/m² 100 gr/m²) used as reinforcement elements, while epoxy was utilized ma-trix materials. A vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method (VARTM) product...
