| dc.description.abstract | Has been done the research about synthesis and characterization of composite
saray palm fiber with epoxy matrix with Chopped Strand Mat method.
Composition saray palm fiber has made with variation 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%
to total mass of matrix and which epoxy was used as matrix. Manufacture of
composite SPS-E was, fibers soaked with NaOH for 1 hour, rinsed with clean
water and dried, and then weighed. Epoxy mixed with its hardener by the motor
stirrer then poured into molds and pressed 60 minutes at a temperature 70o
C. The
aim of this research is to obtain physical and mechanical properties. Value of
density is 0,858 g/cm3 to 1,173 g/cm3
, value of water absorption is 0,75 % to 4,89
%, value of water content is 0,89% to 8,94 %, value of tensile strength is 9,61
MPa to13,14 MPa, value of flexural strength is 23,52 MPa to 104,85MPa and
value of impact is 24,3 kJ/m2 to 38,5kJ/m2
. Composites are qualified Japanese
Industrial Standard JIS A 5905: 2003. Composite of saray palm fiber with epoxy
matrix can be used as material for car bumper. | en_US |
