| dc.description.abstract | The polyethylene composites with oil palm empty bunches fiber fillers
prepared using reflux technique in xylene. The variation of fiber content is 10%.
20%. 30%, 40% dan 50% w/w. Composites film were result using hot press
technique. The characterisation are mechanical strength test. Differential Thermal
Analysis (DTA), Scanning Electrone Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform
Infra Red (FTIR) Spectroscopy.
It was report that the tensile strength increase with presence of oil palm
empty bunches fiber as filler compared polyethylene matrix 100%. The increase
of fiber content decreased the tensile strength but, in fiber content 50% it was
higher than pure polyethylene matrix.
ln the present Maleic Anhydride and Benzoil Peroxide increase the tensile
strength of composites result. The Maleic Anhydride is coupling agent for
Polyethylene matrix and fiber filler binding. | en_US |
