Abstract
Compression-molded epoxy methacrylate of bisphenol-C-jute/treated jute-banana/groundnut/
cane sugar/pineapple leaf/rice husk/wheat husk sandwich composites were fabricated under 5
MPa pressure at room temperature for 3 h. Alkali treated jute-natural fiber sandwich composites
displayed considerably improved mechanical properties over untreated jute-natural fiber sandwich
composites due to surface modification of the jute fibers. Both types of sandwich composites
showed high water uptake tendency, excellent hydrolytic stability against acids, alkali, and salt
solutions, and also a longer equilibrium time at 30o
C. Alkali treated sandwich composites revealed
a considerably lower water uptake tendency than untreated sandwich composites. Observed
water uptake trend is H
