In this study, the impact of adding Graphene Nano Platelets on the mechanical properties of Jute Fiber reinforced Polymer (JFRP) composites has been investigated. JFRP composite specimens were fabricated with varying number of layers (3 Layers, 4 Layers, and 5 Layers) and different orientations (30 degree, 45 degree, 60 degree) reinforced with 2% weight graphene nano platelet. Ultrasonicator is used for dispersion of graphene nano platelets into the epoxy matrix. Mechanical Tests namely Tensile test, flexural test and impact test is carried out to study the behavior of JFRP with different layers and orientations. The results proved that the use of 2% weight of Graphene Nano platelets led an enhancement in fatigue strength and impact strength. Also it is found that 3 layered with 30 degree orientation composite specimens had better mechanical properties compared to 4 layered and 5 layered composite specimens. |
