dc.description.abstract | Mechanical properties of a palm
fiber reinforced composite depend not only on its
constituents but also on the interfacial adhesion.
Palm fibers were treated with seawater in order to
find out its influence of this treatment on the
mechanical properties of the composite. The result
for untreated polyester/palm fiber composites
show the tensile strength, elongation at break,
flexural strength decrease with the palm fiber
loading increase but modulus of elasticity and
flexural modulus increase. The treated composites
with seawater exhibit higher tensile strength,
modulus of elasticity, flexural strength and
flexural modulus compare untreated composites.
Morphology study shows that the interaction
between the fiber and the matrix is improved
when the fiber surface treated with seawater. | en_US |
