Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop the new composition of bio composite made of clay+epoxy as a binder and reinforced by Kenaf fiber. This reaches also to identify and analyse the composition of both mixture composite. The aim of this researches is to reduce the human problem which is synthetic fiber production utilization. This problem cause to environment and human health. The increases of the temperature due to air pollution year by year are effecting environment badly. The natural Kenaf fiber which known are produced by the Kenaf plantation industry. Kenaf has large amount of potential natural fiber because it consist high cellulose contains. The naturally made resin is clay act as the binder mix with kenaf fiber into the composite. The 6 sample has being prepared with varying its composition. Each of variation mixture has 3 sample that will used for the testing process. The sample are prepared by mixing the clay+epoxy layer by layer with the Kenaf in the middle of the composite. All these sample are tested by using NDT which is non-destructive test to identify the mechanical properties. The test involve was tensile test, and flexural test. The result obtain shown the range of the best composition between clay+epoxy and Kenaf fiber until it goes down. The best composition 30 wt% are chosen to be used as a ratio on composite material for the car door trim fabrication. Therefore, all the objective of this project have been studies where a new composite are be developed, analysed and tested.
