Abstract

Due to high interest in high quality but low cost material, lots of researches have been done by the researcher and engineers. Together with the increasing usage of composite material from mixture of natural materials nowadays, this technical report will proposed a research titled ‘Noise Insulator from Natural Fiber Composite’. Coconut fiber and natural rubber is the material selected for this research as it offer lots of advantage which it has high quality as well as easy to found especially in Malaysia. This mixture of coconut fiber and natural rubber is mixed together in cold press process in a mold to fabricate the composite with different composition of natural rubber by increasing 5 percent of weight for each sample which is start from 0 percent up until 60 percent of natural rubber respectively. Mold of ten millimeters in thickness is prepared as the mold of the specimen preparation. A actual specimen will be as comparison to the specimens with natural rubber for its mechanical properties. These four specimens will then be tested with Tensile Test, Compression test, Moisture Absorption Test and Noise absorption Test to make assessment. From the results obtained, the best specimen will be chosen for Noise Insulator application.
