Daftar Isi:
- Utilization of scrap plastic to composite, especially made polyproplene (PP) has to be done by adding fibers and sheaths Pinang Red Bamboo. PP matrix is heated in the heater melted then added to each of the natural bamboo fiber and red nut. Mechanical properties of the test results have been compared with the fiber-matrix without the addition of a fibrous matrix. Tests showed that the mechanical properties of kompisit has increased with the addition of natural fibers. Mechanical strength with the addition of bamboo fiber is greater than the addition of the Red Pinang fiber. Keywords: polyproplene, Bamboo fiber, Red Pinang fiber, Composite, Mechanical Strength.
