Abstract

The needs of having a new composite which is biodegradable and renewable is deemed essential as to curb environmental issues.This study proposes a new renewable composite,using rice and pineapple leaf fiber as precursors to address this problem stated.The newly fabricated composite was loaded with different PALF loading at Owt.%,30wt.%,35wt.%,40wt.%,45wt.%,50wt.% and 55wt.%.Upon fabrication,these samples were tested and characterized using universal testing machine in accordance to ASTM 03039 (tensile testing of plastic and composites) and an impact machines in accordance to ASTM 06110.From the tests,it was observed that the most desirable loading of PALF in rice composite is at 55/45 of rice!P ALF loading.The result for modulus of elasticity reads at 1.78042 GPa while the absorbed energy at the same loading displayed a modest result of 4.89 J. There is no remarkable improvement in modulus of elasticity and absorb energy when the fiber loading is increased.The excessive amount of fiber loading caused the decrement of modulus of elasticity and absorb energy. These excessive fibers affect the even combination between matrix and fiber.It can be concluded that,from the study conducted that this composite is most desired with a loading at 55/45 of Rice/PALF.
