Abstract

A capable composite material depends strongly on its mechanical and physical properties.Due to the constant development of composite material nowadays,a new approach by introducing the types of stitch on the weave kenaf fabric is proposed in this research.This study is necessary due to lack of information with no scientific or study in stitching on kenaf fabric.This research aims to fabricate the kenaf fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite at different stitch parameter by using hot press machine.Secondly,to study the effect of mechanical and physical properties of the composite in intraply composite system.Thirdly,this research focus to investigate the failure type and fracture mode behaviours after mechanical and physical tests.All the fabrications and testing methods are according to ASTM standards.Thus, this research is proposed by investigating the best stitching design that will contribute to the high performance in physical and mechanical properties of the intraply composite system.The best stitching designs with reference of the specific strength is Tilt 60/60.The higher the alignment of angle,the better the strength of the intraply composite.This is further developed to Paintball safety jacket for good impact purpose.Last, usage of natural fibre reduced weight and more recyclable.
