Abstract :
The wastes of naturally non-biodegradable
materials, both solid and liquid forms, are a crucial
issue that has led to the issuance of government
regulations regarding the use of those kinds of materials
for industrial processing. In order to face this problem,
bio-composite materials are developed to protect the
environment from acute pollution while still being able
to develop the industry. Bio-composites consist of two
elements; natural fiber and reinforcement, which are
friendly to the environment. In this research, new
materials based on the bio-composite reinforced by
Pandanus Tectorius natural fibers were observed by
mechanical testing deeply. The results show that the
mechanical properties of such kinds of bio-composite
material are varied depending on their compositions.
The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of each kind of
specimen was 24.85, 35.52, and 37.01 N/mm2
,
respectively. These results were also confirmed to
mechanical based-simulation results using finite element
method.
