Abstract
The following conclusions can be drawn from the above results and discussion: (1) The bonding between jute fiber and rubber matrix is poor without any bonding agent. (2) Addition of 5 phr silica is essential and sufficient for promoting adhesion between fiber and matrix of a mix containing 5 phr resorcinol and 3.2 phr (3) The jute fiber will act as a reinforcing filler only when added above a volume loading of 10 percent. (4) The aging resistance of jute fiber reinforced natural rubber composites is excellent beyond a fiber loading of 10 volume percent.Keywords
