Abstract

The utilization of natural fiber as a composite material filler is currently developing, along with the increasing use of these materials which is increasingly widespread ranging from simple ones such as household devices and appliances to the industrial sector. This composite research reinforced Gebang Midrib Fiber (Corypha Utan Lamarck) aims to determine the effect of composite impact strength with fiber length variations of 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm using a 30% fiber volume fraction and 70% polyester matrix. Here, the method used was an experimental one, by stamping Hand Lay Up material, then doing laboratory investigation. Its results showed that the highest Impact Energy is owned by composite with a fiber length of 50 mm which is 3.933 Joules and the highest Impact Strength 0.0298 J / mm square. And then, the lowest Impact Energy is owned by composite with a fiber length of 10 mm which is 2.1667 Joules, with the lowest impact strength 0.0164 J / mm square.
