FGNF/EPOXY COMPOSIT FABRICATE USING CENTRIFUGAL SLURRY-POURING METHOD
Abstract
In this study, functionally graded natural fiber/epoxy (FGNF/epoxy) cylinders hybrid composite are fabricated using casting method. The natural fiber (NF) used is coir husk and empty fruit bunch (EFB). The mechanical properties and microstructure of the composite was determined. Three different high pouring i.e. 150, 250 and 300 mm are studied. Other than that, the different composition of NF in each sample was conducted which is sample 1 (80% of epoxy, 10% of coir husk, 10% of EFB), sample 2 (80% of epoxy, 15% of coir husk, 5% of EFB) and sample 3 (80% of epoxy, 5 % of coir husk 15 % of EFB). In order to characterize the FGNF/epoxy cylinders fabricated, the hardness, density and compression test are carried out. From the obtained results, it is found that the NF particles can be graded from upper to lower surface of the FGNF/epoxy cylinders by casting. Based on the tests conducted, the result shows that the hardness and density along the cylinder vary from the highest value at the lower surface to the lowest value at the upper surface. It is because the NF composition in the lower was higher than that at the upper surface. Due to difference in density of NF causes the natural fiber particles move to downward by gravity during casting. From the compression test show that the highest Young modulus value is sample 1 which is 7.736 N/mm 2 and the lowest Young modulus value is sample 2 which is 2.728 N/mm 2 . Young modulus and yield strength of FGNF/epoxy is better to apply in material composite. Based on observation, it shows that NF particle more focus on the middle and bottom surface compared with top surface of composite. Besides, the porosity on the middle surface of composite can be seen. From the observation, the results show that the composite that contain natural fiber, increase the strength of material composites. It appears that FGNF/epoxy with a gradient in NF composition, to improve the strength of material properties.
