Abstract

The use of Composite Materials with natural fiber reinforcement is starting to be widely known in the manufacturing industry, environmentally friendly and recyclable materials. Composites are made to obtain lightweight structures, have higher strength or stiffness, energy absorption and design, have low prices and natural fibers are also easy to obtain, especially moringa fruit skin which is very abundant in the East Nusa Tenggara region, especially in Sikka Regency. This study aims to determine the Bending strength, impact energy and seawater absorption capacity. The research materials are moringa fruit skin fiber and polyester resin. Moringa fruit skin fiber is a waste that is rarely used so it can be a serious waste. This specimen is used with the Cold Compressing Molding method (Molds that are loaded at room temperature). The results of the study showed optimal conditions at a volume fraction of 25%, providing the highest Bending strength of 8,888 MPa, the highest impact energy of 0.196 J / mm2, and the lowest seawater absorption value of 0.79%.

Abstract

Environmental damage, previously considered a local problem, has now developed into a global issue, with waste becoming an increasingly pressing issue, especially in developing countries. Inadequate waste management has the potential to cause serious impacts on environmental sustainability and human health. One type of waste that has not been optimally utilized is moringa fruit peel waste and wood sawdust. This waste often causes soil and air pollution because it is left to pile up and burned. Therefore, this study aims to develop a Hybrid composite that combines moringa fruit peel waste and wood sawdust as a reinforcing material, as well as to test the mechanical and physical properties of the resulting composite board. This study uses an experimental approach in the laboratory with variations in waste composition (15%: 5%: 80%), (20%: 10%: 70%), (25%: 15%: 60%) and a composite board thickness of 1 cm. Testing parameters include tensile tests, compression tests, and water absorption. The tensile test results show that the composition of 15% moringa fruit peel fiber and 5% wood sawdust produces the highest tensile strength of 13.622 Mpa. Compression tests showed that a composition of 20% moringa rind fiber and 10% sawdust produced the highest compressive strength of 25.527 MPa. Water absorption tests showed that a composition of 25% moringa rind fiber and 15% sawdust had the lowest, or optimal, water absorption of 1.8%.
