Abstract

AbstrakPotensi serat sabut kelapa perlu diteliti untuk dibuat komposit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh fraksi volume serat sabut kelapa terhadap sifat tarik, sifat bending dan ketangguhan impak komposit dengan matrik polyester, katalis MEKPO, dan NaOH. Serat sabut kelapa yang digunakan ber diameter 0.2 mm. Komposit dibuat dengan metode cetak tekan pada fraksi volume 20-35%. Pengujian sesuai standar ASTM D638 (uji tarik), ASTM D790 (uji bending) dan ASTM D5941 (uji impak) dengan metode impak izot. Pengamatan foto makro untuk menganalisis kegagalan. Kekuatan tarik dan regangan tarik semakin meningkat dengan peningkatan fraksi volume. Modulus elastisitas tertinggi pada Vf 31,4% sebesar 0,206 GPa dan menjadi 0,11 GPa pada Vf 34,88% dengan kekuatan tarik 17,48 MPa, regangan 16.64%. Kekuatan bending meningkat dengan penambahan fraksi volume. Peningkatan kekuatan bending tertinggi (tanpa perlakuan alkali) pada fraksi volume 33,7% sebesar 34.17 MPa dan modulus bending sebesar 2.10 GPa. Peningkatan fraksi volume serat sabut kelapa dapat meningkatkan ketangguhan impak, dengan nilai tertinggi sebesar 26,42 kJ/m2 pada fraksi volume 35,84%. Penampang patah pada pengujian tarik didominasi patahan tunggal sedangkan pada pengujian bending dan impak terjadi patahan banyak serta terjadi fiber pull-out. AbstractThe potential of large coir fibers needs to be investigated to make composites. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the volume fraction of coconut coir fiber on tensile properties, bending properties and toughness of composite impacts with a polyester matrix, MEKPO catalyst, and NaOH. Coconut coir fiber used has diameter of 0.2 mm. Composites are made by compressive with fiber volume fraction 20-35%. Tests were according to ASTM D638 standard (tensile test), ASTM D790 (bending test) and ASTM D5941 (impact test) with the izot impact method. Observation macro photo is used to analyze failure. Tensile strength and tensile strain increase with increasing volume fraction. The highest modulus of elasticity at Vf 31.4% was 0.206 GPa and it became 0.11 GPa at Vf 34.88% with a tensile strength of 17.48 MPa, strain of 16.64%. Bending strength increases with the addition of a volume fraction. The highest increase in bending strength (without alkali treatment) at 33.7% volume fraction was 34.17 MPa and bending modulus was 2.10 GPa. Increasing the volume fraction of coconut coir fiber can increase impact toughness with the highest was 26.42 kJ / m2 in the volume fraction of 35.84%. The fracture crossing in tensile testing is dominated by a single fracture while in bending and impact testing there is a lot of fracture and fiber pull-out occurs.
