Abstract In this research, the effect of UV light on the mechanical properties of jute polymer
nanocomposites was evaluated. Due to the fact that photodegradation is a surface process and
is confined to the degradation of the mechanical characteristics of polyester resin, this study
focuses on the resin quality. Therefore, test samples comprised of fibre-reinforced polyester
nanoclay composites were fabricated different weight ratios of nanoclay. They were put through
UV exposure in an Ultraviolet (UV) chamber. Tensile testing samples were made in accordance
with ASTMD638 and had a minimum thickness of 3 mm. Additionally, specimens for… More >
