The paper reported the study on the tensile strength of polymer composite reinforced with abaca fiber and polyester matrix. The effect of fiber weight content and fiber orientation on the tensile strength of the abaca composite were investigated in the study. The abaca composite panel was fabricated using press method with 3 levels of the fiber weight content (20%, 30% and 40%) and 3 levels of fiber orientation (00, 450 and 900). The tensile specimen was prepared according to ASTM D3039 standard. The tensile test was conducted using MTS Landmark servo hydraulic testing machine with a tensile speed of 2 mm/min. The result of the experiment showed that both of fiber weight content and fiber orientation gave significant effect on the tensile strength of the abaca composite. The highest tensile strength was 61.9 MPa, produced by the abaca composite panel with fiber weight content 30% and fiber orientation 00. According to the standard, the tensile strength has fulfilled the requirements as a non-structural material. |
