Manufacture of fiber composite materials musa acuminate l. prepared by the randomized position with polymer matrix resin

Composite is a system composed by mixing two or more different materials, in the form and composition of materials that do not dissolve each other. In general, the composite material is a material that has some properties that may not be owned by each component. This study aims to determine the effect of immersion banana fiber in NaOH solution, the composition ratio of the difference between the banana fiber to resin used and find the resistance of composite products produced against the pressure test and tensile test. This study begins with taking fiber banana followed by delignification process to remove lignin in the raw material, then molding composites made with a composition that has been set. The resulting composite will be tested durability to perform pressure tests (ASTM D 695) and a tensile test (ASTM D 638). To test tap on the position of the randomized to the concentration of NaOH 0%, 3%, 5% and 7% respectively, each for 53.716 N/mm 2, 43.184 N/mm 2, 81.724 N/mm 2 and 30.032 N/mm 2. For tensile test on an randomized position with NaOH concentration of 0%, 3%, 5% and 7% respectively, each for 21.519 M.Pa, 18.359 M.Pa, 31.033 M.Pa and 21.064 M.Pa
