Making Use of Local Waste: Adsorptive Removal of Novacron Red FN‐2BL Using CTAB‐Aided Sodium Hydroxide–Pretreated Jute Fibers

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The purpose of our work was to increase the efficacy of jute fibers through the application of two successive treatments: sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The goal was to remove the dye Novacron Red FN‐2BL from wastewater. We thoroughly investigated how different parameters, such as initial concentration of dye (20–100

Sustainable Jute Fiber Sandwich Composites with Hybridization of Short Fiber and Woven Fabric Structures in Core and Skin Layers

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 309, Issue 11, November 2024.
Sustainable hybrid composites are developed using two different dry‐fiber preforms from the similar jute fiber type. Woven fabric and highly packed short jute fiber preform are used as skin and core layers respectively, in these sandwiched hybrid jute composites.

Role of Anatomical Structure on Yield and Quality of Bast Fiber

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2010
Anatomical structure (cross-sectional area and surface structure of fiber bundle) greatly contributes to quality determination of fiber filaments. Fiber bundle with greater cross-sectional area produces coarse and strong fibers suitable for gunny bags ...
