Abstract

Jute fibre is a biodegradable nature and versatility that is good for production of the composite material. its have good properties such as strong, durable, light fibre and environment friendly as well as cost efficient. However, most research did not utilize the jute fibre in the fabrication of intraply polymer matrix composite. Therefore, the purpose of this study is was to investigate the effect on the stitching on jute woven fabric embedded epoxy as a matrix in the intraply composite. The designed lamina composites were fabricated via vacuum infusion process where epoxy was used as the matrix and jute fibre was used as the reinforcement. Mechanical and physical testing such as tensile, flexural, impact, areal density and water absorption were carried out to determine the effect of stitching on jute fibre composite. Furthermore, the failure mode was studied by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Hence, it can be concluded that the effect of stitching on the jute fibre composite have greater effect on tensile strength, flexural and impact compare to jute fibre alone.
