Abstract

This research intends to ensure the compatibility of using thermoplastic cornstarch (TPCS) and reinforced by pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) as a replacement for synthetic fibre. Besides that, this research also to study the effect on the properties by using different methods of preparations TPCS reinforced by PALF composites. The variable of testing has been used to the sample of PALF/TPCS which is mechanical, physical and environment as it gives a different result of each method of preparation. Furthermore, by using the different compositions of PALF / TPCS which is 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50 and 60:40, it is also affected the results of mechanical, physical and environmental testing. For the mechanical testing such as tensile test, it shows that the mixture method has the higher result of tensile strength (10.51 MPa) compared to the layer method (9.69 MPa) at 40:60 wt%. As for the conclusion, it can be concluded that the sample that are going through mixture method has the highest and best result in mechanical, physical and environmental properties compare to the sample that are fabricated by using layer method.
