Abstract
The fabrication of composites by impregnating jut non-woven fabric in NBR latex is described. The composites were characterised by thermogravimetric analysis and by scanning electron microscopy to understand the thermal stability and morphology respectively. All the composites were stable to 280 deg.C, and thermal degradation of the jute fabric and composites was found to proceed in two steps, unlike NBR. A degradation kinetic parameter was obtained for each stage of degradation of the jute, NBR and their composites using Broido, Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Cryogenically fractured specimens were used to analyse the surface morphology of the jute fabric and composites by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the incorporation off NBR increased the bonded area at fibre crossovers and intersections. 27 refs.
