PENGARUH PEMAKAIAN SERBUK JERAMI IR 64 SEBAGAI FILLER KOMPOSIT UPRs TERHADAP KEKUATAN TARIK DITINJAU DARI VARIASI FRAKSI BERAT

Abstract: The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of rice straw weight fraction on tensile strength of rice straw filled Unsaturated Polyester Resins composites. The research composites used Unsaturated Polyester 157 BQTN-EX as the matrices and rice straw IR64 as the filler. The rice straw is sizing in 20 meshes and mixed with matrices by hand lay up method for it making. And mad at several weigth fractions (0%, 2.5 %, 5%, 7.5 % and 10 %).  The  experiment  result  conclusions,  such  as  the  tensile  strength properties have decreasing values as long as the increasing weight fraction. The decreasing of tensile strength properties is caused by the wax and silica composition on the rice straw that make poor bonding strength between filler and matrices. 
Key words: rice straw, composites
