Composite is a combination of more than one type of material and is designed to get the best combination of characteristics from each of its constituent components. Therefore making corn fiber composites using polyester resin is one way to understand new properties in new materials. The purpose of this study was to study the thermal resistance and physical properties of corn husk fiber com…
Green building material is a concept that makes up a lot of construction materials developed in modern times. Construction material with green building concept has criteria such as lightweight raw material, high mechanical strength, abundant availability and renewable material. Sandwich is a lightweight composite material, has good strength. Combination of natural materials to be applied as a s…
Indonesia has a wealth of natural fiber resources that are abundant and which have not been used optimally. Raw materials derived from natural have different properties compared to wood. Devlopment of biocomposit or composite technology by utilizing natural-derived fibers and agricultural waste, plantations will help overcome thr scarcity of industrial raw materials while preventing environment…
Penggunaan material komposit dengan penguat serat alam mulai banyak dikenal dalam industri manufaktur. Material yang ramah lingkungan, mampu didaur ulang, serta mampu dihancurkan sendiri oleh alam merupakan tuntutan teknologi sekarang ini. Komposit serat yang memanfaatkan serat alam perlu dilalkukan penelitian agar komposit serat benarbenar mampu dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku alternatif mater…
The use of natural fibers as a base material and reinforcement in the manufacture of composite materials has become known in the world of industry and manufacturing. One of the natural fibers that can be used is corn husk fiber. One of the factors that supports the use of corn skin fibers as reinforcement of composite materials is that corn husk fibers are easily recycled and can decompose them…
Penggunaan serat alam sebagai penguat untuk material komposit sudah mulai dikenal dalam dunia industri dan manufaktur. Salah satu faktor yang mendorong penggunaan serat alam sebagai penguat material komposit adalah serat dari alam mampu didaur ulang dan dapat terurai sendiri sehingga lebih ramah terhadap lingkungan, yang dimana karakteristik tersebut merupakan tuntutan dari teknologi terkini. P…
The use of bamboo fiber has not been too much of a public eye, especially the industrial owners, now bamboo fiber is being used as a composite mixing material. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of CaCO3 filler volume fraction on tensile strength and bending of unsaturated polyester fiber composites that have been modified with Styrofoam. To achieve this goal is done by mak…
One of the materials used for the manufacture of composite materials is natural fibers. One that can be used is bamboo. However, bamboo fibers have low compatibility to polymers, requiring surface treatment. The purpose of this research is to know the effect of NaOH concentration and the duration of immersion in bamboo fiber treatment on the impact strength of bamboo fiber modified polyester re…
Composite is a structure consisting of two or more constituents which combined macroscopically. The combination is not mutually dissolve. Using a polymer as a matrix and fiber reinforcement material in the form of natural bamboo Gigantochloa apus of fiber-shaped cut. The research method begins with molding with size 300 x 250 mm, bamboo cutting as strip reinforcement with 1.5 mm thickness, plai…
