  By Fataha Nur Robel, Towhidul Islam, Arifuzzaman Tapash, A. M. Sarwaruddin Chowdhury

  Abstract: AbstractNanocomposite is a new concept in the field of plastic-based composites. Jute fabric (hessian cloth)-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites with different nanoclays were prepared by compression molding. Jute fiber content in the composites was approximately 50%. Mechanical properties of PP-clay blend and PP-clay/jute fiber composites were characterized. It was found that 5% clay containing PP-clay/jute composites showed the best results. Tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EB) and tensile modulus (TM) …
