| Summary: | Wood Polymer Composite is a product to increase the interfacial bonding strength
between fibers and polymer. The aims of the study are to determine the
mechanical properties of Kenaf (Hibicius cannabinus) and to evaluate the best
quality strength based from mesh and portion that use as Wood Polymer
Composite. Sizes of specimens were 25 mm x 150 mm x 5.77 mm for bending
test and 10 mm x 150 mm x 1.77 mm for tensile test. Kenaf fiber specimens were
tested for bending and tensile. The results were analyzed based on standard of
EN:310:1993 for bending testing and standard EN:319:1993 for tensile testing.
ANDVA showed that no significant different in Tensile but there are significant
different in Bending. Mesh 60 shows better result than Mesh 40 and core particles
portion indicates better strength in both bending and tensile. Kenaf core particles
have better potential material for furniture and building component especially
tabletop and ceiling. |
