Abstract

Management of organic waste is one of the main problem in this era. A lots of study had been done to reuse the organic waste in order to reduce the cost to dispose the waste. At the piston ring also have a high energy losses due to the friction which is 20% of losses. This thesis is about the coefficient of friction performance of palm kernel activated carbon polymeric composite during dry and oil impregnated condition. The composite will have 3 different composite that will undergo three different sets of test. The composites will be test at original state, impregnated into oil which is mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil for a day, and then the composite will be leave inside the box for a day without further impregnation. This test to see any changing of coefficient of the composite if the composite undergo three different condition. The ball-on-disc tribometer test will be used in this study. Basically, the composite were formed into disc shaped using hot compaction technique. When the composite were ready, basic mechanical test were done. Then the composite were tested through ball-on-disc tribometer. The results show that the coefficient of friction of mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil one day without further soaking composite gives the lowest value. This behaviour shows that the effect of coefficient of friction is also depend on the viscosity of lubricants and any others. In addition, the effect of impregnation time are not really significant in friction. The lubricant quickly fully absorb when the composite impregnated for a long time. In conclusion, the result of coefficient of friction of PKAC-E composite that one day left without further soaking gives the lowest result which is between 0.115 to 0.118
