Karakterisasi Komposit Hibrid Serat Tandan Kosong Sawit (Tks)/Serat Karbon Bermatriks Epoxy Dengan Metode Vacuum Bagging Sebagai Material Rangka Drone Racing First Person View (Fpv)
ABSTRACT
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aerial robot that is now a national sport in the First Person View (FPV) category. Carbon fibre, as a popular FPV frame material in the aerospace industry, has the disadvantage of being brittle and not environmentally friendly as it is difficult to decompose. As an alternative, synthetic and natural fibre-based composite materials, such as palm empty fruit bunch (PEFB) fibre and carbon fibre, are being developed to create a more environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. This study aims to determine the effect of the volume fraction of carbon fibre and TKS fibre (70:30, 60:40, 50:50) on tensile strength and flexural strength, and to evaluate the volume fraction ratio on specific tensile strength and minimum density. The composites were made using the vacuum bagging method with epoxy resin, while the TKS fibres were woven using the plain weave method. The results showed that the best tensile strength was achieved at 70:30 fraction with a value of 207 MPa, while the highest flexural strength was obtained at 60:40 fraction with a value of 50.42 MPa. The minimum density of 0.997 g/cm³ was obtained at the 50:50 fraction, and the highest specific tensile strength of 193 kNm/kg was obtained at the 70:30 fraction. Further development on fibre quality and fabrication techniques is expected to significantly improve the performance of the composites, thus potentially becoming a more environmentally friendly alternative material for UAV applications.
Keywords: Hybrid composite, specific tensile strength, density.
