Industries in the field of nonmetallic materials are have currently been widely developed and researched, in order to obtain appropriate new materials. One of the materials that is currently widely developed is composite materials in the form of natural fibers and synthesis fibers, which have the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, economy, and insensitive to chemicals. T…
One of the materials used for the basic material for making composites is natural fiber. Natural fiber is a part of plants that is easily found in nature. One of the natural fibers that can be used is bamboo. Bamboo is very easy to grow and has good mechanical properties. As material and material science increases, bamboo fiber is now being used as a composite mixing material. Bamboo fibers nee…
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…
Utilization of natural fibers as the core to the natural composite sandwich has many advantages, but research is required in order to composite sandwich capable and worthy as an alternative to metal and plastic material. Metal material is less economical and the effect on the natural environment for exploration as well as plastics that can’t afford biodegradable and can last for hundreds of y…
Developments in technology and science in recent encouraging composite materials are widely used in a variety of product applications. Composites are widely developed is a synthetic fiber reinforced polymers such as fiberglass and carbon fiber. However, synthetic fibers are not able to dust, so will burden the environment. Bamboo is a natural fiber that has good potential as a replacement for s…
