Abstract

The mechanical characteristics of jute/E-glass
fibre polyester composites were examined (AC) after the
incorporation of activated carbon particles. The polyester
matrix was loaded with five different particle loading ratios
(0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 percent). To increase the adhesion of jute
fibres to the polyester matrix, they were treated in a NaOH
solution. Hardness, tensile, and water absorption tests were
performed on polyester, Activated Carbon- filled polyester
and jute/E-glass fibers polyester with and without Activated
Carbon filter. The findings revealed that the hardness, tensile
strength, and strain-to-failure of the polyester and jute/E glass
polyester specimens all reduced as the Activated Carbon
particle loading was raised. However, increasing the
Activated Carbon fillet loading to 3 wt.% reversed these
findings. Improved tensile and flexural testing, which
subsequently started to deteriorate.
