Summary:Surface treatment was performed on jute fibers to produce effective jute reinforced fiber epoxy composites. An improvement has been observed in physical appearance of the jute fiber while analyzing with the bleaching agent. There was no significant enhancement observed in the mechanical properties by adopting this surface treatment. At three different temperature conditions silane treatment was performed on the bleached jute fibers. The mechanical properties showed an enhancement due to silane treatment. Also liquid retaining capacity of the treated fibers increased which indicates better wetting properties of the jute fibers. The gel point also showed better pseudo elastic properties in case of silane treated jute fiber.
