Wood is increasingly difficult to obtain due to the use of excess wood. Many efforts were made to replace wood, one of which was composite material. This study aims to determine the most optimal bending strength with the influence of variations in volume fractions and fiber orientation in hybrid composites with luffa fibers and hyacinth fibers. In making composites using the hand lay-up method with alaklization treatment on gambas and hyacinth fibers using 5% NaOH which is varied with the volume fraction used in this study with the ratio of resin: hyacinth: gambas is (60%:20% :20%),(70%:15%:15%), as well as (80% :10%:10%) and the orientation of the fibers with the arrangement of the luffa / hyacinth / luffa layer is (0°/ 45 °/ 90°), (0˚/45˚/0˚), (90˚/0˚/90˚). Bending testing was performed with ASTM D790 standard and hypothesis testing using the two-way ANOVA method. From the results of bending testing, the most optimal strength value was found, which was 43.33 N / mm2, where the value was not higher than the bending strength value in the multiplex, which was 17.53 N / mm2. Meanwhile, the results of hypothesis testing are that there is an influence on the volume fraction factor, the direction of fiber orientation and the interaction with bending forces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
