Abstract

The assembly of two different materials (matrix and reinforcement) develops an interface zone. At this zone, important parameters such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, the modulus of elasticity, the density differ from one face to the other. As a result, much research has been conducted to understand and evaluate the effect of interfacial bonding on the mechanical behavior of composites. The major drawback of the development of these plant fibers is to inject fibers as reinforcement with hydrophilic character into polymer matrices with hydrophobic character. In this regard, several methods of modifying plant fibers alter the interfacial bond between the fiber and the matrix. These various physical or chemical treatments having the roles of cleaning, reducing water retention, increasing the anchoring of the fiber, make it possible to obtain good fiber-matrix adhesion and consequently to improve the mechanical properties of the composite materials.The main interest of our empirical work is to examine the influence of the effect of different temperatures (30, 60, 90, 120, 160, 200) °C on the alkali content of the chemical treatment of 5% NaOH during 2 hours on the biochemical composition of fibers as well as the mechanical behavior in traction of jute/polyester fabric composites.
