ABSTRACT
The study was conducted at the JTPDC Wing, Product Development Division, Product Design and Engineering Department, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh during January 2019 to June 2020. Different portion of the jute fibre and fabrics shows different properties. Jute fibre and fabrics has multi cellular structure, composed of micro fibrils and matrix adhesion. To improve the fibres and fabrics properties after the inserting in the composite fibre and fabrics are chemically modified. The treated fibre and fabrics show different result in similar portion. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging of all the specimens was carried out to examine the variation of morphology due to change chemical concentration in conclusion. In conclusion, chemically CnH2n+1COOH, H2O2, Mg, O3, C6H5OH, C6H5NH2 treated jute fibre and fabrics different show different range of brightness and whiteness.
