Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study on the physical and mechanical properties of jute fibres grown in seven different locations of Bangladesh. Two varieties, namely O-9897 and O72 of Tossa jute and two varieties, namely CVL-1 and BJC-2197 of White jute fibre samples are collected from seven research stations of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), namely Faridpur, Manikganj, Rangpur, Kishoreganj, Pakhimara, Tarabo and Manirampur. A total of five physicomechanical quality attributes, such as, bundle strength, fineness, linear density, whiteness and brightness are tested for this study. It is observed that fibre bundle strength of Tossa jute varieties is comparatively higher than that of White jute varieties. On the other hand, it is also revealed that linear densities of Tossa jute fibres are significantly higher than that of White jute fibres. However, between the Tossa jute varieties O-9897 and between the White jute varieties CVL-1 seemed to be better in terms of spinning quality of those jute fibres.
