Abstract

ABS is one of the thermoplastic polymer that can be mold under a specific temperature and become solid again when it cooling Now days, the application of ABS polymer are widely been used in many type of application such in building, medical, construction and toys. The main objective of this project is to investigate the bending properties of ABS material at varying temperatures and times. Besides that, this project also is to characterize the morphological surface of ABS material at different temperatures and times. In this project, ABS polymer are used to investigate the bending properties of ABS polymer after heat applied on it. First of all, the pure ABS material will be fabricated by using hot press machine. After that, specimen under thermal degradation condition will be heated with temperature of 50°C and 80°C for 10 hours, 30 hours and 50 hours. Each condition will have 3 specimen. After heat are applied on the specimen, the bending testing are being conducted to the specimen. Lastly, the morphological study will be conducted by using SEM. The result get from this testing is maximum load (N), flexure stress at maximum load (MPa) and modulus (MPa). At the end of this project, a discussion about the result obtain from the testing are made. From experimental result, it can be conclude that the maximum load, flexure stress and modulus will be decreases as the temperature and time increases. From SEM result, it shows that the specimen are in ductile at room temperature. After being heated, the specimen slowly become more brittle.
