Abstract

The following work has been done to fabricate new composites created by reinforcing newly identified jackfruit stem fibers into an unsaturated polymer resin matrix. The fibers have been extracted by mechanical and chemical processes, and hand layup technique has been used to fabricate the composites. First, the identification of the specimen is done and jackfruit stem fibers are decided to be checked for feasibility of extraction for this study. When it is found that the fibers can be extracted successfully from the jackfruit stem, then both retting process and chemical treatment is used to successfully extract the fibers. After extraction of the fibers, the density of the extracted fibers is to be calculated. After that, the fibers of proper length are used to create composite matrix of polymer resin using a calculated amount of volume fraction of fibers. The composites are then post cured after fabrication and prepared for further studies.
