Popis: | Present investigation is aimed on chemically modified of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea) fiber for composite fabrication. An increment in cellulose crystallinity with crystallite size is observed from X-ray diffraction study. The signature of impurities removal and an uneven surface are confirmed from Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. Afterwards, both raw sunn hemp-reinforced fiber composite and dewaxed sunn hemp fiber-reinforced composite were fabricated using hand lay out method and the mechanical as well as dielectric properties of composite are studied. A better mechanical strength is found in DSHC which may attribute to rough surface and increased cellulose crystallinity through dewaxing process that promoted a fine interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. Dielectric constants and losses are found to be less in dewaxed sunn hemp fiber-reinforced composite in comparison to raw sunn hemp-reinforced fiber composite due to decrease of water polar groups, which lead to lessening the effect of space charge polarization by treatment. Complex impedance and modulus study revealed the presence of single relaxation process in both systems. Lower ac conductivity value is observed in dewaxed sunn hemp fiber-reinforced composite due to decreasing of conducting polar OH groups. As a whole, the effort is established to correlate the mechanical and dielectric properties with fine structural parameters of the fiber. |
