PENGARUH KONSENTRASI NaOH, WAKTU DAN SUHU PERENDAMAN PERLAKUAN SERAT TERHADAP KEKUATAN BENDING KOMPOSIT SERAT BAMBU RESIN POLYESTER
One of the materials used for the manufacture of composite materials is natural fibers. Natural fibers are part of the plants that are easy to find in nature. One of the natural fibers that can be used is bamboo. Bamboo is very easy to grow and has a very good mechanical properties. Utilization of bamboo fiber has not been used widely the souety, especially owners of industry. Along with the increasing knowledge in the field of materials and materials of bamboo fiber to be utilized as a composite mixing material. However bamboo fibers need surface treatment in order to produce a good bond with the matrix. And to produce hight composite strength. The goals to be achieved in this research is to know the effect of fiber treatment on mechanical strength of polyester resin composite fiber resin.
To achieve this objective thereseach is done by making composite specimens of bamboo fiber (short fiber) with 40% fiber volume fraction. Matrix the used are polyester resins. Bamboo fiber were treated with fiber solution NaOH concentrations of 4%, 8%, 12% for 1 and 2 hours at two temperatures : room temperature and 50oC and without treatment. The process of making compression molding using a mold made of steel plate and pressed with a pressing device, the fiber direction is random. Tests conducted are composite bending test and fiber tensile test. Data were analyzed using a three-way anova.
The results shown that NaOH concentration and temperature had significantly influenced the composite bending test, while the immersion time had no significant effect on the composite bending test. For composite bending test the highest bending strength is 56,44 Mpa at NaOH 12% concentration at 50oC temperature. The lowest bending strength is 27,78 MPa on no NaOH treatment. While the fiber tensile test, the tensile strength of the highest fiber is 365,37 Mpa at a concentration of NaOH 8% at room temperature. The lowest fiber tensile strength is 109,47 MPa at no treatment
