Abstract

The honeycomb sandwich-based shelter became the choice because it was based on current events making it an inspiration to do this study. Things that happen as the situation of flood victims who live in hardship and face difficulties when their homes collapse and are destroyed when the flood season arrives. Through this problem, an idea was born to build a dwelling that is easy to move, light, and durable to facilitate its users during a disaster or in trouble. In addition, as we all know, Malaysia is a tropical country rich in treasures and natural resources. Malaysia is also a high producer of coconut among Asian countries in the world. Inspired by this, coconut fiber is the choice as a natural fiber to be used as the main material for the experiment. Coconut fiber obtained from coconuts will be mixed with polypropylene to produce a composite of honeycomb-shaped aluminum that acts as a sandwich to the composite. The objective of this study is to fabricate a coconut fiber sandwich and investigate the thermal conductivity of honeycomb sandwich coconut fiber reinforcement. Next, the scope of this project is an analytical study that focuses on coconut fiber with polyester resin as a composite that attaches to an aluminum honeycomb as a sandwich material. In addition, coconut fiber is treated with carbonate to eliminate unwanted particles before being prepared as reinforcement. and standard thermal testing used to analyze the thermal distribution of honeycomb. Everything that was told was told in detail in chapter one, then entered chapter two told the literature review about the materials used following previous studies. Through it, we are told about natural fibers and examples of natural fibers that are found around us, composites and how to produce composites, honeycomb type of composites and the types of composites that exist, and material preparation found in past studies which are about guidelines for treatment on natural fiber materials that have been selected and testing that has been done through previous studies. this is done to help to choose the best way that we will do during the experiment to get good results for the study. This chapter is told in detail about the things that are stated for understanding and appropriate reports can be done to continue this experiment. Then, the third chapter told about the method and method of research used during the experiment. Therefore, all the processes and methods are told in more detail about what is carried out. This aims to provide an understanding of how the work is done in order to help get accurate information about the title and the study that made it. In addition, the next chapter tells about the results and discussions made as a result of experiments conducted in the previous chapter. It aims to detail the findings of the study and the important evidence for each question that arises in the future. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented in the last chapter to give emphasis to reemphasized and recommendations to those who want to do research on natural fiber in the future.
