Abstract

Research of polymer concrete had been made by using sand, pumice, coffee shell fiber and polyester resin. Research had been done in order to get the best combination. Then, it has pressd by using Hot Press at temperature of 90°C for 30 minutes. The properties of polymer concrete has been analyzed that physical properties such as density, porosity, water absorbtion, mechanical properties, bending strength, compressive strength, tensile strength and photograph analysis by SEM-EDX. The result of research showed that the best combination based on test was sand 60 g, pumice, coffee shell fibe, and polyester resin with ratio of (8:2:30) gr that density 1,62 g/cm3; porosity 1.70%; water absorbtion 1.04%; bending strength 7.40 MPa; compressive strength 10.92 MPa; and tensile strength 4.13 MPa. Keywords: Coffee shell fiber, polymer concrete, pumice, and sand.

Abstract

Research has been conducted on the preparation and characterization of polymer concrete with certain compositions of sand, pumice, coffee husk fiber, and epoxy resin to get the best mixing composition. All compositions were processed using a hot press machine at a temperature of 90 °C for 20 minutes. The results showed that polymer concrete with optimum characteristics is produced in the mixing composition of sand, pumice, coffee husk fiber, and epoxy resin of 60:14:6:20 g. In this condition, the density is 1.21 g/cm3, porosity is 8.3%, water absorption is 6.81%, flexural strength is 28.68 MPa, compressive strength is 7.67 MPa, and tensile strength is 3.98 MPa. SEM/EDS analysis shows that the addition of epoxy resin can improve the quality of polymer concrete. Keywords: Coffee husk fiber, epoxy resin, polymer concrete, and pumice.
