Pembuatan Dan Karakterisasi Komposit Hybrid Serat Pelepah Pisang Kepok (Musa Paradisiaca) Dengan Serat Tandan Kosong Sawit Bermatriks Epoxy
ABSTRACT
At this time, research on new materials is growing, one of which is experiencing a fairly rapid development in the field of composites. Researchers have also started moving from synthetic fibers to natural cereals. Apart from having quite good mechanical properties, natural fibers are also easy to obtain, especially in Riau, the fiber of Palm Oil Empty Fruits Bunches (EFB) is very easy to obtain, apart from being waste that has not been utilized properly, and is easily broken down. The problem in previous studies was the number of voids on the surface and in the composite due to the lack of a percentage of the matrix which resulted in a weak interface bond resulting in low mechanical properties. This research uses banana stalk fiber in hybrid with EFB fiber and epoxy matrix then produced by vacuum bagging method. Banana fiber was extracted with a length of 25 cm and EFB fibers were extracted with a length of 1.2 and 3 cm and carried out alkaline treatment using 5% NaOH with a soaking time of 2 hours. To determine the experimental design and variables that have a significant effect on flexural strength, impact resistance and water absorption, the statistical method Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used. The results showed that the maximum flexural strength was found at run 6 with a value of 209.11 MPa, with a percentage of banana fiber/EFB (50%: 50%) with a percentage of hybrid / matrix fibers (30%: 70%) and 30 mm EFB fiber length. . The maximum impact strength is found at run 9 with a value of 2.736 Joules, with a percentage of banana fiber/EFB (60%: 40%) with a percentage of hybrid / matrix fibers (35%: 65%) and a fiber length of 3 cm EFB. The minimum water absorption is at run 14 with a value of 0.22%, with a percentage of banana fiber/EFB (60%:40%) with a percentage of hybrid/matrix fibers (25%: 75%) and a length of 1 cm EFB fiber.
