Abstract
Organic fiber-based biocomposites have gained prominence in a variety of sectors over the last four to five years due to their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Natural fiber-based composites are increasingly being employed in autos, ships, airplanes, and infrastructure projects. The current study will look at the effect of nanotitanium oxide (TiO2) fillers on the properties of hybridised jute-hemp-based composites. In this work, TiO2-filled biocomposites were created using the hand layup method in hybrid jute-hemp composites containing jute fiber mats, woven hemp mats, and epoxy resin. After nanotitanium oxide fillers were injected in various weight proportions, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymers were investigated. The mechanical properties of laminated composites were tested using the ASTM standard. Compared to 2 and 4 wt.% of TiO2, the 6 wt.% was provided the highest mechanical strength. Among the different types of specimen, the E-type specimen (30 wt.% of hemp, 7 wt.% of jute, 57 wt.% of epoxy, and 6 wt.% of TiO2) gives their highest contribution, i.e., for tensile 24.21%, for flexural 25.03%, and for impact 24.56%. The scanning electron microscope was utilized to analyse the microstructures of nanocomposites.
