Effect of water absorption on pultruded jute/glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites
Abstract
The use of natural fibers in polymer composites has given renewed interest to the development of green composites today. However, the moisture absorption of natural fibers gives serious concern, especially for their potential outdoor applications. This article reports the study results on the water absorption of pultruded jute/glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites, which was subjected to various water conditions and their effects on its mechanical properties. Water absorption tests were performed by immersing composite specimens into three different water conditions, namely: distilled water, sea water, and acidic water, which were at room temperature, for a period of 3 weeks. The characteristic parameter of diffusion coefficient ( D) and maximum moisture content ( M m) were determined from the obtained water absorption curves. The water absorption behavior of the glass/jute fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composite was found to follow a non-Fickian behavior. The effects of the various aqueous environments on the flexural and compression characteristics were investigated in this study. The flexural and compression properties were found to decrease with an increasing percentage of water uptakes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
