- Abstract
Currently, the use of polymer composites with natural fibers is widely developed because the price is relatively cheap and environmentally friendly. The aim of this study was to determine the bending strength of polypropylene composites with pineapple leaf and palm fiber as reinforcement. The method used is compression molding and heated in the oven at 250º C for 60 min. The variations used in this study were volume fractions of 15%, 20% and 25%. The results of specimen testing showed that the highest bending strength occurred at 15% volume fraction of 68.76 MPa and the lowest bending strength occurred at 25% volume fraction of 46.84 MPa. Based on the results of the SEM test, it can be seen that there are voids and fractures in the composite. Therefore it can be concluded that the increasing fiber of pineapple leaves and palm fiber, the bending strength decreases.
