Abstract

Composite is a combination of materials formed from mixing between two or more of the forming materials. This research aims to determine the effect of variations in fiber length with lengths of 4cm, 6cm, and 8cm with a volume fraction of OPEFB fiber of 30% and NaOH alkaline immersion for 2 hours. The tests carried out were tensile testing using ASTM D3039 and bending testing using ASTM D7264. Based on the study's results with the 30% OPEFB fraction with the highest tensile strength yield, the 8cm fiber length of 13,33 MPa was achieved. Meanwhile, the lowest value was achieved with a length of 4cm of 3,2MPa.

Abstract

In this modern era, the palm oil industry is growing, so the waste is also increasing. If the waste from the palm oil industry is not processed, it will pollute the environment. One way to process palm oil waste is to turn the empty palm fruit bunches (OPEFB) fibers into composite reinforcement. Various natural fibers can be applied to become composite reinforcement, so it is necessary to study the character of OPEFB fibers for composite reinforcement. This study will look at the effect of various volume fractions on the bending strength of the composite. The volume fraction consists of 20%, 30%, and 40% fiber. The composite is then tested for bending to determine the bending strength of the composite. The results of the tests showed that the highest bending strength value was the 30% volume fractional variation with 47.70 MPa. The 40% volume fraction variation has the lowest bending strength value of 29.53 MPa.
