Abstract

Calcium silicate boards (CSB) are being explored in the maritime industry due to the mechanical strength and its resintance to humidity. The common CSB comprises fiber, silica sand, and portland cement. Clamshell is one of marine waste, who has a high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content. Coconut fiber, a natural fiber known for its high strength and durability, presents sustainable solutions for enhancing the material properties of CSB. This study explores the forming mechanism and mechanical properties of the CSB in the usage and varied volume fraction addition of coconut fiber with the varied portion replacement silica sand using clamshell powder. The bending test was performed, and the experimental results were analyzed using ANOVA, to understand the effect of the mixture composition on the bending strength of the CSB. The addition of volume fraction coconut fiber significantly improve the bending strength of the boards, while the replacement of silica sand using clamshell powder gives various result. The maximum bending strength was 13.87 ± 0.64 Mpa by 0% clamshell powder replacement in  9% coconut fiber, and significantly drop at 8.26 ± 2.20 MPa by 50% clamshell powder with 50% silica sand. In fully portion replacement of silica sand, in which the addition of 100% clamshell powder, with 9% coconut fiber, the bending strength measured at 10.29 ± 1.31 MPa. The highest results exceeding the minimum requirement in ISO-8336 category A and B (saturated condition) , class 3 (>13 MPa) standards for interior wall installations. This study providing a more robust and eco-friendly materials alternatives that supports non or maritime industry needs in while resolve the environmental issue.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effect of alkali treatment using NaOH solution on the mechanical properties and microstructure of hybrid composites based on epoxy resin reinforced with petung bamboo fiber and fiberglass. Bamboo fibers were immersed in five NaOH concentration variations (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%) before composite fabrication using the hand lay-up method. Tensile testing was performed according to ASTM D-638 standard and microstructural characterization using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed that 9% alkali treatment produced the best mechanical performance with a tensile strength of 58.68 MPa, elongation of 4.15%, and elastic modulus of 1413.49 MPa. SEM analysis indicated improved fiber-matrix adhesion due to removal of lignin and hemicellulose. Optimal alkali concentration enhanced composite performance, making it a potential candidate for eco-friendly vehicle interior applications.

Abstract

Aluminum matrix composites often suffer from low mechanical performance due to poor reinforcement distribution and manufacturing defects during the stir casting process. This study aims to evaluate the effect of stirring duration on the mechanical properties, microstructural distribution, and fracture behaviour of Al-Si-Cu matrix composites reinforced with Al2O3 particles. Composites were fabricated using varying mechanical stirring durations of 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, with three replicates evaluated for each experimental condition (n=3). Material performance evaluation was conducted through Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), elongation at break, and Brinell hardness (HBW) testing, accompanied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for microstructural and fracture morphology analysis. The results indicate that mechanical properties followed a parabolic trend with increasing stirring duration. A 10-minute stirring duration was optimal, achieving peak UTS (163.33 MPa), maximum elongation, and highest hardness (87.32 HBW). Microstructural SEM observation revealed uniform Al2O3 particle dispersion and solid interfacial bonding at 10-minute, yielding a ductile fracture with fine dimples. Conversely, prolonged stirring for 20 minutes significantly reduced UTS to 56.78 MPa and deteriorated elongation, suspected to be due to gas entrapment porosity and particle pull-out voids, which triggered a cleavage-dominated brittle fracture mode. In conclusion, controlling stirring duration is critical to optimizing microstructural homogeneity, enhancing ductility, and preventing premature failure in cast composites.
