Studies of jute fiber and jute cellulose reinforced polyethylene with maleic Anhydride, Nanoclay and Silica biocomposites.

Jute fiber was investigated as a reinforcing filler material for producing structural composites with better environmental performance. Silica and nanoclay act as reinforcing agents in the composite system. The effects of nanoclay and silica addition on the physical, mechanical, and thermal proper...
