Muhammad Salihin, Zakaria
The aim of this research is the improvement of the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced thermoset, as a result of optimization of the properties of sugarcane bagasse fibers by the use of NaOH treatment process. Tert-butyl perbenzoate was used as catalyst at elevated temperature for efficient processing of polyester composites. Sugarcane bagasse fibers were alkalized with 1, 3 and 5% NaOH solution, combined with four different fiber loading formulation, and hot-pressed to form natural fibers composites. The flexural modulus and strength of bagasse fiber composites alkalized with 3% NaOH solution gave the highest value and the untreated bagasse fiber gave the lowest. The same trend was obtained for the tensile modulus and strength as expected. However, by increased the NaOH solution, the mechanical properties decreased as a result of fibrillation lead to uneffective stress transfer occurred. Meanwhile, the break elongation of composites was decreased due to the improved fiber-matrix adhesion (to give more stiffness to the composites). Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that with 3% NaOH solution treatment, bagasse fiber composites gave the highest storage modulus (E′) values and the lowest tan δ values. SEM observations on the fracture surface of composites showed that the surface modification of the fiber occurred and improved fiber-matrix adhesion. A water absorption test also showed that with 3% NaOH solution treatment, bagasse fiber composites gave higher bonding and adhesion compared to all another bagasse fiber composites.

Myint, S.; Muhammad Salihin, Zakaria; Ahmed, K. R.
A formula for making paint was developed using waste expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) as a binder. This method replaces the alkyd resin in most commercial paint, which is derived from the byproducts of refi ning crude oil. Experimental results showed that 27% waste polystyrene foam can be incorporated in the paint formulation. Basic performance tests for EPS paint were conducted and evaluated, and the developed formulation was compared with commercial paint containing modifi ed alkyd resin as a binder. Test results showed that EPS-based paint has some advantages such as excellent abrasion resistance, water resistance, alkali resistance, hardness, and adhesion characteristics.
