Abstract

Natural fibers (NFs) are increasingly in demand across a wide range of polymer-composite materials.The objective of the research was study about the mechanical properties and morphology of oil palm fiber reinforce thermoplastic polymer.In this investigation,we pick the oil palm fiber as first material.Oil palm fiber (OPF) is a fiber extracted from empty fruit bunches which proved to be a good raw material for bio composites.Oil palm fiber (OPF) cellulose content is within 43% -65% and lignin content within 13% -25%.The fabrication procedure included alkalinised,dried and crushing should be considered in order to develop the composite.The samples were set up by changing volume part (5,10 and 15% volume division) and the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were completely blended to acquire a mix of 250 gram signify material for every composition.After that,these compositions were tested for mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural test and also for their morphology by using microstructure analysis.Thus,the result shows the present OPFs in specimen has 83% similarity with ABS mechanical properties.
