Table 2 Moisture absorption and effect of sunlight on breaking strength of alkali-activated and modified jute fibers
From: Characterization of grafted jute fiber using acrylate monomers pretreated with alkali
Type of fiber | Moisture content (%) | Breaking load on sunlight exposure (Kg/Yarn) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Exposure period ( 0Â h) | Exposure period (250Â h) | Loss of strength (%) | ||
Alkali-activated | 16.6 | 27.5 | 22.2 | 19.0 |
EA modified | 10.9 | 28.9 | 26.1 | 9.7 |
HEMA modified | 14.2 | 29.9 | 27.6 | 7.8 |
