<![CDATA[Research has been carried out on composites from apus bamboo fiber and teak wood particles for car door trim applications. The research method used is compression molding using a hot press machine and testing is based on ISO 527-2 & ASTM D790 standards. This analysis uses the independent variable, namely the ratio of the volume fraction of apus bamboo fiber and teak wood particles 10:30, 20:20, 30:10%. While the fixed variables are 60% epoxy volume fraction, hot press temperature 100°C, pressing load 30 psi, and for 20 minutes. From the tensile test data, it is found that the variation of 30:10% fiber and particles which the variation with the best result is 84.69 MPa, then followed by a variation of 20:20%, is 42.60 MPa. The two variations above the minimum standard value of high-density fiberboard SNI 01-4449-2006:5-9 is 35 MPa. While the variation of 10:30% gets a value of 21.61 MPa which is below the minimum standard. For the bending test, the variation of 30:10% is the variation with the best result, which is 60.24 MPa and is above the minimum standard. Meanwhile, the variation of 10:30% and 20:20% has the lowest bending strength value with a value of 15.43 MPa and 29.61 MPa and is still below the minimum standard that has been set. For the fracture surface results, all variations resulted in fiber pull-out failure but the 30:10% variation which has ductile fracture properties and is considered safer for car door trim applications.]]>
