Design and Fabrication of Composite Loom Shuttle

Abstract

Natural fiber composites are highly becoming a priority to researchers due to their enriched characteristics and eco-friendly. In this review, we are considering the natural fiber composites are specimens to design a shuttle of the loom. Natural fiber composites (NFCs) are composite materials in which at least the reinforcing fibers are derived from renewable and carbon dioxide natural resources such as wood or plants. Loom shuttle can be made up of NFCs such as coir and jute fibers. In general, the durability of the air-jet loom shuttle is three months in order to rebuild and increase it, composites are handled properly. Due to their extraordinary characteristics and properties, the NFCs make the loom shuttle stiffer and more rigid. By implementing low-density composites along with epoxy resin and hardener, it could be ensured the product has compact and highly applicable. In our project, we utilize the coir and jute fiber as composite along with epoxy and hardener to make a loom shuttle. Predominantly, the shuttle loom is designed with proper parameters and is well performed. NFC's capabilities and compatibility reveal their strength and durability. By introducing composite materials for industrialization, we reduce the time consumption, more utility, highly biodegradability and further usage can be enhanced.
