| description | Natural fibre reinforced composite has brought the material engineering to a high new level of research.
Natural fibres are compatible with matrices like polypropylene and can be used as reinforcement material to reduce
the composition of plastic in a material. Natural fibres such as kenaf, pineapple leaf, and coir already found its
importance in reducing the dependence of petroleum based products. However the biodegradability of the product at
the end of the intended lifespan is still questionable. This has led many researches to look for a suitable replacement
for synthetic fibres and achieve better adhesion between fibre and matrix. In this study, fiber and matrix which are
hydrophilic in nature was used and the mixture was extruded and hot compressed to acquire better mechanical
properties. The specimens were fabricated and tested according to ASTM D638. The 30% composition illustrates the
best average modulus value among other composition and from this result it can be concluded that the increase of
PALF fibre in TBR composite increases the modulus strength of the composite. |
