Description 41-51
A sustainable flexible nonwoven fabric has been developed using jute (Corchorus olitorius) and polylactic acid (PLA)
fibres. The thermal bonding technique has been used to soften the PLA component which behaves as the matrix in jute fibre
reinforcement. The central composite rotatable design has been adapted to understand the effects of the independent
variables, such as PLA content, roller temperature and roller pressure on mechanical properties, such as tenacity, breaking
elongation, initial modulus, energy-at-break, bursting strength and tear strength. Considering the linear, quadratic and
two-way interactive effects of independent variables, the second-order polynomial has been suggested which proves good
association. The optimised process parameters are PLA content 30%, jute content 70%, roller temperature 170°C and roller
pressure 150 N/cm2. The property comparison with commercial bag fabric shows that the developed jute-PLA fabric is
better in many useful aspects. Three types of bags with carrying capacity of 2.5, 5 and 10 kg have been prepared. The results
of the hanging test, wetting test, drop resistance test and atmospheric resistance test of the developed bag in comparison to
the commercial bag show that the developed bag from jute-PLA performs better. No significant change is found after
10 wetting-drying cycles and hence, the bags are reusable. The fabric can be used successfully as a carry bag or shopping
bag. As the process and components of developed fabric are ecofriendly, it will be sustainable and ecofriendly.
