In the present work, polypropylene (PP)- and polyethylene (PE)-based composites were cured using microwave energy with 15% weight percentage of jute and kenaf fibres. The detailed mechanism of microwave curing of the composites has been discussed with suitable illustrations. The mechanical characterization of the microwave-cured composites was carried out using various tests. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractographs were used to study the mechanisms of failure. The ultimate tensile strength of various microwave-cured composites was in the range of 44-50 MPa. The interlaminar shear strength of the PP-based composites was 62% higher than the PE-based composites. The impact energy of the microwave-cured composites was in the range of 18-24 kJ. The mechanical performance of the microwave-cured composites was comparable to the composites obtained through traditional manufacturing routes.
