Jute fiber (hessian cloth)-reinforced polypropylene matrix composites (50wt% fiber) were fabricated by compression molding. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, bending strength, bending modulus, and impact strength of the composites were found to be 48 MPa, 2.5 GPa, 56 MPa, 4.5 GPa, and 18 kJ/m(2), respectively. Then E-glass fiber (woven)-reinforced polypropylene-based composites ( 50wt% fiber) were fabricated and the mechanical properties were compared with those of the jute-based composites. It was revealed that E-glass fiber-based composites had almost double the mechanical properties as compared to jute composites. The interfacial shear strength of the jute and E-glass fiber-based systems was investigated and found to be 2.13 and 4.66 MPa, respectively, measured using the single-fiber fragmentation test. Fracture sides after flexural testing of both types of the composites were studied by scanning electron microscope and the results revealed poor fiber matrix adhesion for jute-based composites when compared to that of the E-glass fiber composites.
