PERILAKU CREEP PADA KOMPOSIT POLYESTER DENGAN SERAT KULIT BAMBU APUS (GIGANTOCHLOA APUS (J.A & J. H. SCHULTES) KURZ)
Abstract: Bamboo is used as
raw material wicker and crafts are emerging as a new solution for use as new
materials that are more environmentally friendly and have better mechanical
strength. Research by utilizing bamboo as reinforcement fibers and polyester
resin matrix aims to determine the mechanical strength of the resulting
composite merging the two. Bamboo fiber composites made with various volume
fractions of 10%, 15% and 20% using polyester resin and catalyst MEKPO ratio
100:1. The composite is prepared by hand lay-up by using a glass as a mold.
Bamboo fibers used as reinforcement composites, is expected to increase the
tensile strength and creep strength of each variation. In addition to observing
the microstructure using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) to determine the
failure mechanisms that occur on the fracture surface.
From this study the authors concluded that bamboo fiber composites have
the potential for further development because the tensile test results are
directly proportional to the addition of fiber to the highest tensile strength
was 86.01 MPa at 20% volume fraction, whereas the average creep testing best
time of 529.63 seconds on 10% volume fraction, the failure mechanism of the
plates shown in SEM is a form of fiber breaking, pull out and de bonding.
