Popis: Untapped areca catechu l. husk fibers optimally can cause pollution to the environment. Therefore it is necessary to learn the characteristics of local balinese areca catechu l. husk fibers, such as physical, chemical, morphological, and mechanical. AHF testing the tensile strength with a single pull fiber test in accordance with ASTM D 3379 in the amount of 146-152 MPa. While the observation of the physical properties, of local balinese areca catechu l. husk fibers have a diameter and length variations of each 250-540 μm and 9.24 to 55.20 mm, with an aspect ratio of between 31.43 to 102.22, density ranges between 0:48 - 0.74 kg / cm3, absorption lower water (90-150%) when compared to AHF grows in other areas. From this study it appears that local Bali AHF can be used as reinforcement in composite replacement for synthetic fibers.
