Abstract

This research is focus on the effect of different ceramic filler loading on the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites. The raw materials that is used are silica and polypropylene. This research is dedicated to the study of mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites, specifically under tensile loading. In this study, 4 types of composites filler loading which consist lOO%PP, 80%PP 20%Silica, 70%PP 30%Silica, and 60%PP 40%Silica with the shape of dog-bone were fabricated 3 for each type, in accordance to Tensile Testing as per ASTM D3039. The Mixing via Extrusion and Hot Isostatic Pressing was used to produce the specimens. From the results obtained from the tensile testing, the plain PP has highest tensile strength which is 31.S4±O.64MP A . This is followed by the result obtained for 80%PP 20%Silica with 20.81±S.49MPa for tensile strength, 70%PP 30%Silica with lS.34±3.S4MPa for tensile strength and 60%PP 40%Silica with 12.30±2.0SMPa for tensile strength. From all result that was analyzed it can be conclude that the effect of silica reduced the tensile strength of polymer matrix composite.
