“…The optimum mechanical properties of composites are characterized by the interface between the matrix and filler and crystallization behaviour of the matrix [19]. A lot of different natural fibers such as jute, PALF, kenaf and coir are being studied around the world as reinforcement for thermoplastic and thermoset matrices [20]. In this study will utilize MLF as a reinforcement and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as a matrix.…”

The performance of mengkuang leaf fiber (MLF) reinforced low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites with different fiber volume and different mesh sizes were studied. The fibre weight percentage used in the research were 10%, 20%, and 30% and for different fiber size were <0.5 mm, 0.5-1 mm, and 1-2 mm. The extrusion and hot compression molding were used to fabricate the specimen testing. The mechanical testing performed were impact and flexural test which follows the ASTM standards D790-10 and Izod D256. It was observed that by increasing the fiber volume and fiber size, the flexural strength and the flexural modulus were increased. However the impact strength shows different results for fiber length and fibre content where the impact strength increases with fibre length but decreases with the increase of fiber content. It can be concluded that the 30% fibre content is the optimum fibre loading for the MLF-LDPE composite with the flexural strength of 12.31 MPa, flexural modulus of 378.88 MPa and impact strength of 589.86 J/m whereby the 1.0-2.0 mm fibre length is the best fibre size for the MLF-LDPE composite with the flexural strength of 12.86 MPa, flexural modulus of 267.76 MPa and impact strength of 1511.57 J/m. In future studies fibres should undergo surface modification to increase the available surface area for reaction to increase the strength of the composite by better mechanical interlocking.

“…Furthermore, cellulose fiber is easy in handling and process for experimental and installation purpose compare to animal and mineral fiber [4]. A lot of different cellulose fibers such as jute, flax, kenaf, hemp, coir, sisal, and PALF are being studiedaround the world [5]. Pineapple plants are plants that are found throughout Indonesia, so the production of pineapple is very abundant.…”

Along with the times utilization of natural fibers composite materials has been developed. The purpose of this research was to know the impact strength of pineapple leaves fiber composites before applied to basic material for Indonesia National Standard (SNI) helmet. Design of this research was true experimental with posttest-only control design, in this research there were two group, namely experimental group (fiber composite) and control group (SNI helmet). Result of this research showed there was improvement about composite strength with addition fibers volume. The value of absorbed energy and the highest impact strength is found in 10% of fiber volume equals 0.5375 Joules and 0.01657/mm 2 , far above the SNI helmet which only amounted to 0.3125 Joules and 0.00972 J/mm 2 . For the highest density value is found in 13% of fiber volume equals 1.4525 g/cm 3 . It can be concluded that pineapple leaves fiber composites can be used as an alternative material for making SNI helmet.

“…Manufacturing industries like automotive, construction and packaging company are searching new materials which can replace conventional non-renewable reinforcing materials such as glass fiber due to pressure of new environmental legislation and consumer demand [1] [2] [3] [4]. Good specific strengths and modulus, economical viability, low density, reduced tool wear, enhanced energy recovery, and reduced thermal and respiratory irritation and good biodegradability make natural plant fiber more reliable candidate over traditional glass fiber [5] [6] [7] [8] [9].…”

The composite materials are replacing the conventional materials, owing to their excellent properties. The developments of new materials are on the anvil and are thriving day by day. Natural fiber composites such as palm fiber (PF) polymer composites became more enchanting because of their high specific strength, low weight and biodegradability. Mixing of natural fiber like PF with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer is finding increased applications. In this work, PF reinforced ABS composites PF-ABS was fabricated by Injection Moulding Machine. The effect of UV-Visible radiation on PF-ABS composites was studied by means of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy in the wavelength 200 -1000 nm at room temperature. The present investigation shows that the addition of palm fiber modifies the absorption property of the materials. The absorption ability is maximal for 10% PF-ABS composites while minimal for 20% PF-ABS composites in the visible region of the spectrum. Optical constant like direct band gap energy, Urbach energy and Steepness parameter were determined using absorbance data. The values of direct energy band gap, Urbach energy as well as Steepness parameter were found to be in the range 2.6 -3.9 eV, 0.40 -0.85 eV and 0.03 -0.06, respectively. It was observed that the value of direct band gap energy as well as Urbach energy is higher while the value of Steepness parameter is lower for PF-ABS composites with 10% palm fiber.
