Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Different physical properties of two types of felt such as density, thickness, bending length, flexural rigidity, bending modulus and moisture regain percentage were determined. Studies were made on the two types of felt one from jute caddies (100% jute) and the other from 80% jute and 20% man-made fiber (viscose). The jute felt was stiffer than the blended one and density was slightly higher and the moisture regain of jute, felt was higher than blended one. This high moisture regains means that the hygroscopic of jute felt is higher than the blended one.

Keywords: Physical property, Moisture regain, Flexural rigidity

Location: Bangladesh Jute Research Institute

Start Date: 01-01-1990

End Date: 31-12-1993

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To determine the performance characteristics of Non-woven and knitted jute products and standardizing them

Methodology:

Non-woven and knitted products are conventionally manufactured from cotton, wool, and man-made fibers. But BJRI (Tech) has been able to manufacture some non-woven knitted products from jute and its blends. In this work two types of felt were studied. Different physical properties of these felts such as density, thickness, bending length, flexural rigidity, bending modulus and moisture regain percentage were determined as per standard test methods in the standard atmosphere of R.H. (65±2)% and temperature of (20±2)ºC.

Achievement/Findings:

In the study different properties of two felts sample one made from jute caddies 100% jute and the other from 80% jute and 20% viscose, were determined. It was found that the thickness of 100% jute although was only 1 mm thicker than the blended one, the flexural rigidity of jute felt was very high compared to that of the blended one. This shows that the jute felt was stiffer than the blended one. Again density was slightly higher and the moisture regain of jute, felt was higher than blended one. This high moisture regains means that the hygroscopicity of jute felt is higher than the blended one.
