Abstract

Polymer-based advanced composite materials fulfill the industry’s needs. Attention to technological growth in different industry sectors is required for advanced materials with desired mechanical and thermal characteristics. The research aims to locate the consequence of jute fiber orientations (0, 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90°) on polymer composite’s mechanical and thermal adsorption properties developed by epoxy resin via hand layup technique with manual stirrer action. The mechanical characteristics like tensile, impact, and flexural strength of advanced composites are evaluated by ASTM test standards, and its experimental results are compared to 0° orientation. The thermal adsorption performance of jute fiber reinforced polymer composite is predicted by a thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and differential type scanning calorimeter (DSC). According to the test results, the epoxy composite made with jute fiber as 30° stacking orientation is exposed to maximum mechanical properties such as higher tensile, impact, and flexural strength of 265 ± 1.11 MPa, 0.84 ± 0.14 J, and 46.12 ± 2.09 MPa; this is better than the other epoxy composite samples. Likewise, the epoxy composite with 30–50° jute fiber stacking orientation is exposed to better thermal stability. An 80.19% thermal weight loss is spotted at 360 °C, leading to netter exothermal and endothermal effects.
