| Summary: | This research is aimed to investigate the mechanical and physical properties
of the thermoplastic composite from the kenaf species. The strength were
tested for water absorption, thickness swelling, bending (Modulus of Rupture
and Modulus of Elasticity), and tensile tests (Stress and Strain) based on
ASTM standards. In this study, one paramaters used which was size of
particles (150 IJm, 180 IJm, and 250 IJm). From the study, it can be concluded
that the smallest size (150 IJm) compare to others particles size (180 IJm and
250 IJm) exhibited the highest strength of wood plastic composite compare to
others size.
