STUDIES ON THE PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SODIUM HYPO CHLORATE TREATED JUTE FIBER (Pages : 9 - 12)

The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Fibre Chemistry, Physics and Testing Department of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), Head Quarter, Dhaka during 2006 and 2007. For the improvement of physico-mechanical properties of jute fibre, some chemical treatments were taken using sodium hypo chlorate. The physico-mechanical properties of chemically modified jute fibre such as bundle strength, fineness/ diameter, brightness, whiteness, tex etc. were studied. By increasing brightness, whiteness and decreasing bundle strength, diameter/ fineness, tex of modified jute sample became more soft than original sample. Yarn quality of modified jute fibre was more similar with cotton sample than that of control jute sample. Download
