Pembuatan dan Karakterisasi Papan Komposit Berbasis Serat Pandan Wangi dengan Resin Epoksi

Abstract

Preparation and characterization of composites based fiber fragrant pandan with epoxy resin have been done by method of random orientation with a length of fiber 4 cm, the fiber composition : 0 gr, 0,1 gr, 0,2 gr, 0,3 gr, 0,4 gr, 0,5 gr. The mechanical properties and physical properties of composite were obtained as tensile strength 52,26 MPa, flexural strength 49,74 MPa, strong impact 30,6 kj/mm2 , density 1,07 gr/cm3 and rate of water 2,05 %. The results showed mechanical properties and physical properties are almost the same as the Standard JIS A 5905 :2003 such as tensile strength >0,4 MPa,flexural strength >32 MPa,density 1,07 – 1,3 gr/cm 3 and rate of water 5-13% It means the material on this reseand can be applied to outomotive car such as bumper.
