Increasing need to produce furniture whose main raw materials are made of wood will result in a lot of wood production that will be reduced. The purpose of this research is to investigate the tensile strength and bending strength of teak hybrid powder composites and coconut charcoal powder with polyester resin matrix. method used is to mix teak wood powder and coconut shell charcoal powder wi…
Material engineering technology every year always makes new breakthroughs in quality materials and have an adequate contribution. Natural fiber reinforced composite material is one of the materials currently used as fillers in composite products. Composite with natural income also has a variety of advantages offered, namely low prices and abundant availability. This study discusses the fraction…
In the last decade, the trend of developing composite materials has shifted to the use of back-tonature fibers with several advantages including low density, renewable production, low energy production, easier processing, and good heat insulation and acoustics. One natural fiber is bamboo. Bamboo is very easy to grow and has excellent mechanical properties. Utilization of bamboo fiber has not b…
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…
eed for components that have structural capabilities, light and strong, environmentally friendly materials are also the demands of today's technology. One material that is expected to be able to fulfill this is composite material with natural fiber filling material. The advantages of natural fibers are low density, easy to obtain, cheaper prices, environmentally friendly, and not harmful to hea…
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 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…
Some plants are generally only used the fruit, so sometimes the rest of the plant becomes an obstacle when in large quantities. But has traditionally been used for other purposes. Some of them are pineapple leaves are used to make ropes and textiles, banana as fodder, and coconut fibers are used for fuel. This study uses pineapple leaf fiber, banana fiber and coconut coir fiber as the fiber ty…
