Nowadays renewable micro-energy harvesting system is becoming attractive, because this energy is free which leads to reduce energy cost. Piezoelectric is one of the common energy harvesting systems. Generally, the output of a piezoelectric transducer is a small AC voltage and its power is also small. As a result, the convertion of this low AC volta

Surface treated jute accomplished by chemical treatments which enhanced the adhesion between polyester resin and modified surface within the composite.
