Improvement Of Chemical Resistance Of Jute, Glass,Epoxy Hybrid Composites.

Chemical resistance hybrid fibers (i.e. jute/glass) composites are prepared to assess the influence of
treated and untreated hybrid composites to various acids, alkalis, and solvents were studied as a
function of silica at 2, 3, 5 and 12 wt % filler loadings respectively. Jute was treated with 5% solution of
NaOH was taken into the tray allowed to soak in to in it for about 4hrs. Weave Glass fiber length undo
in to 20 mm length where as jute length was taken 10mm and yet 3% vol. of hybrid fiber were
impregnated with matrix. Hybrid composites were pre-weighed and dipped in all chemicals thereof for
24hrs taken it out and washed it with distilled water weighed again to know the change in % weight
loss/gain in order to find out resistance to chemicals. Hybrid fiber composites are made up of hand
layup process. Author hence proved all hybrid composites are resistance to attack of all chemicals
except Toluene
