Abstract

This research intends investigation on the characteristic of thermoplastic corn starch composite reinforced short pineapple leaf fibre PALF by using different methods of preparation the different composition will be given a different result by using a testing method such as tensile test,impact test,flexural test,and moisture content and density measurement.Pineapple leaf fibre PALF with short length 2mm will be parameter for all composition percentage for PALF/TPCS is 20/80,30/70, 40/60, 50/50 and 60/40.The all specimens were validated by comparing the experimental results and the numerical results.In this project,TPCS/PALF composite will show a different result during a mechanical test,physical test and environment test by the using a different percentage combination of PALF and TPCS.The main objectives of this experiment are to investigate on the characteristic of thermoplastic corn starch TPCS composite reinforced short pineapple leaf fibre PALF by using different methods of preparation mixture (blended) and layer (lamina sandwich).The PALF use as reinforcement and TPCS matrix show positive result with all experimental it almost show that biodegradable composite has potential as replacement fibre synthetic but need more research to make it better in future.From the results,it can be concluded that the mechanical properties can be different result for every different specimen had been tested by mechanical testing in the laboratory.
