Polymeric foam composites containing natural fibre is gaining attention for light-weight and environmental friendly engineering materials. In this works, physical and morphological characteristics of unsaturated polyester-based polymeric foam composites containing oil palm empty fruit bunches fibre (OPEFBF) were investigated. Sodium hydroxide treated-OPEFBFs (average diameter 0.3 mm, fibre length 3-5 mm) were loaded as fillers for unsaturated polyester-based polymeric foam composites, using polyurethane as blowing agent. It was found that increased content of the blowing agent decreased density of the composites. It was revealed that increased loading of the OPEFBF resulted on increase of mechanical characteristics, but also density of the composites. Optimum formulation of the polymeric foam composite was achieved using weight ratio: Polyester: OPEFBF: Polyurethane: MEPOX= 40: 40: 15: 5, with resulted characteristics: density: 990 kg/m³, foam content: 6.32 %, Modulus of Elasticity: 8460 MPa. Morphological investigation of the composites using SEM microscopy indicated finely distributed of OPEFBF and air pores within the bulk of the composites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
