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…
In Indonesian Corn is an abundant crop. Postharvest handling aims that corn can be stored for a long time. One method with conventional drying. The weakness of this method depends on the weather and requires a large place for drying. One effort to overcome the disadvantages of conventional drying is by using a dryer made from rice husk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of t…
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…
The biomass of horse feces and corn cob is found as a waste that is underutilized. Horse manure has contents such as carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, wich one of them is able to be processed through the gasification process. While corn cobs contain high enough carbon, the high carbon content it is very easy to burn. Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts solid fuel into a gas fuel…
Composite is a combination of two or more materials which are gett new one in the material. In order to do this the manufacture of composite polyester with corn and fibers strengthened combned with sawdust wood sengon to earn the material properties are new .This study aims to to establish the nature the power of bending and tensile strength composite polyester the services of talismanic the fi…
Composite is one kind of material created by the merger of two or more kinds of materials that have different properties into one new material with different properties, one of which is the incorporation of resin with fiber. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fraction of the composite fiber tensile strength and moisture absorption. The main ingredient of this research is …
ABSTRACT Drying is one way to extend the shelf life of grain crops such as corn. Post harvest handling of corn that is very drying to determine the quality of corn for the next usage. Corn is an important crop that can serve as a food source. Not only is utilized as food but corn can also be used as feed material, raw material industry and medicine. But in the process of drying many far…
Water absorption is done with ASTM C - 272. With the variation of fiber volume fraction of 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 30 %, and also variations of the direction of unidirectional fibers, woven and random. Where the test specimens were weighed with a digital scale with a precision of 0.01 grams and then the specimens were kept for 7 x 24 hours, after which the composite is weighed again to d…
