The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00004 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.08 SJR: 0.153 SNIP: 0.178 CiteScore™:: 1 H-Index: 12

ABSTRACT

Jute, agel leaf, and glass fiber were used in this research as a composite reinforcer. Unsaturated polyester was used as a matrix material and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide as a curing initiator. Firstly, all fibers were alkali-treated in 4% NaOH solution for 1 h, and then dried. After that, fibers were silane-treated in a 0%, 5%, and 10% silane solution and then dried overnight. Every composite was enhanced with seven layers of woven fibers in seven different stacking sequences. Tensile, flexural, and impact tests were used to testify the mechanical properties of the composite. FTIR and SEM analyses were done to analyze the effectiveness of silane treatment. It is shown that the 0%, 5%, and 10% silane treatment of the alkalized-pure agel leaf fiber-reinforced composite decreases its specific tensile strength. On the other hand, the silane treatment of alkalized jute and glass fiber can improve the specific tensile strength, due to the effective reaction between silane and hydroxyl groups on the fiber surface. Placing glass fiber at the outermost layer from the neutral axis gives significant improvement in the specific flexural properties. For the specific impact strength, stacking sequences of reinforcement does not give any significant improvement. Gradual improvement of the composite specific impact strength is more likely caused by the increase in the value of glass fiber content. At chemical bonding perspective, FTIR and SEM analyses show that silane treatment has a positive effect in enhancing the fiber−resin interaction.
