Sifat-sifat Mekanik Komposit Serat TKKS-Poliester

Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fiber reinforced polyester composites were prepared using simple technique namely hand lay-up. Alkali treatments were used to enhance the hydrophobicity of the fiber. Lignin and cellulose content of EFB were analysed through chemical composition analysis. The mechanical properties are analyzed by conducting tensile and flexural tests. Macro observation shows fiber bridging on the fracture section. The SEM micrograph also shows a better surface roughness after alkali treatmen. The result shows that bending strength increases with the increases of fiber volume fraction. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of composite were higher than the pure polyester and increases with the increasing of fiber volume fraction although polyester shows low compatibility with the EFB fiber. The failure mechanism as a result of bending and tensile tests had shown a dominant fiber pull-out mechanism and less of fiber breaking mechanism. It suggests that the optimal strength of the composite can be further increases by enhancing the compactibility between fiber and matrix

Kekuatan Tarik Komposit Poliester Berpenguat Partikel Kayu Jati, Merawan Dan Meranti Merah

Komposit poliester dengan bahan penguat dari serbuk kayu jati, merawan dan meranti merah dari limbah industri pengergajian kayu dibuat dengan metode hand lay-up. Komposit dibuat dengan volume fraksi serbuka kayu 4, 8 dan 16%. Pengujian tarik dilakukan untuk mengetahui kekuatan masing-masing komposit serbuk kayu, menunjukan bahwa kekuatan tarik komposit lebih tinggi dari kekuatan tarik polyester murni. Sementara kekuatan tarik komposit menurun seiring dengan naiknya prosentase serbuk kayu. Kekuatan tarik tertinggi didapat pada komposit serbuk kayu merawan diikuti oleh komposit serbuk jati dan serbuk kayu meranti merah. Tingginya kandungan uap air menyebabkan rendahnya kekuatan tarik dari komposit serbuk kayu

Pengaruh Perlakuan Alkali Terhadap Kekuatan Tarik Serat Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit Untuk Digunakan Pada Komposit Serat Tkks

Empty Palm bunches (TKKS) is one of the solid waste generated by industrial palm oil plantations which contain lots of fiber and is one of the natural fiber source that the availability of abundant in Indonesia, especially in the province of Lampung. TKKS fiber can be used as an alternative amplifier to composite materials. This research was conducted to determine the influence of the chemical composition of TKKS fiber and know the tensile strength from TKKS fiber by doing a tensile test. Alkaline treatment NaOH 5% given to fiber to separate lignin and contaminants that contained in fiber so that it can increase the tensile strength fibers. TKKS fiber is obtained processing palm oil factory by the process of boiling oil palm fresh fruit bunches with a pressure of 2.5 until 3atm at temperature 130 C during 50 – 60 minutes. TKKS already parsed and then selected and measured with a length of 6 cm and a diameter of 0.2 mm. And then given an alkaline NaOH 5%. In this research on the treatment of alkaline NaOH 5% provided that treatment during 0 hours (without treatment), 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour. Results from the study found that fiber tensile strength affected by the chemical composition on the fiber, the higher the tensile strength of the cellulose content is increasingly high. Tensile strength in fiber with alkali treatment 2 hours of 0,03528 Mpa, 0,3996% strain, 0,088288 MPa elasticity modulus, if compared with fiber without alkali treatment of 0,018946 MPa tensile strength, 0,2056% strain, 0,092149 MPa elasticity modulus. This is due to the levels of cellulose fibers with alkali treatment 2 hours increased by 58,2808%, if compared with fiber without alkali treatment by 13,2848

Fhoto daerah patahan dengan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) digunakan untuk melihat mekanisme perpatahan komposit.     Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan tarik dan regangan tertinggi dicapai pada komposit dengan panjang serat 90 mm. Kekuatan tarik yang didapat sebesar 36,37 MPa dan regangan sebesar9,34 %.  Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kekuatan komposit ialah daya ikat serat dengan matrik, pendistribusian serat yang merata, dan panjang kritis serat.  Hasil foto SEM pada patahan komposit serat ijuk menunjukkan terjadinya fiber breaking. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa daya ikat antara matrik dan serat yang cukup baik, tetapi sebaran serat pada matrik tidak merata yang mengakibatkan kekuatan tarik komposit yang optimal tidak bisa dicapai.Keywords : Serat ijuk, kekuatan tarik, SE
