Abstract

This research focuses on the successful development of Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF)-Epoxy composites added with Carbon Active Powder (CAP) and printed using the Vacuum Pressure Infusion (VAPRI) method. Considering the importance of determining the mechanical properties of composites as raw materials for making fishing boats, this research aims to determine the use of Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF) in polymer matrix composites. The composite morphology was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and ImageJ software. The mechanical properties evaluated included Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, and Hardness. The composite was prepared by incorporating CAP in varying volumes of 0 %, 10 %, and 30 % with a fixed ALF percentage of 40 %. The results showed that the addition of CAP significantly increased the tensile strength to 128.51 MPa, with 0.068 % elongation, 1787.39 MPa modulus of elasticity, and a hardness value of 75.2 HD. Furthermore, the addition of 10 % carbon exhibited a remarkable improvement in flexural strength, reaching 238.51 MPa. This improvement could be attributed to reduced porosity, resulting in enhanced bonding between ALF-CAP-Epoxy components. The flexural strength of the composite with the highest CAP content experienced a significant increase of 238.51 MPa. Thus, Agel leaf fiber has the potential to be used as a reinforcing material in the manufacture of composites and is applied in the manufacture of environmentally friendly fishing boat bodies
评估碳粉改性的 Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF) -epoxy 复合材料的机械和形态特性
本研究的重点是成功开发添加了碳活性粉末(CAP)并使用真空压力灌注(VAPRI)方法印刷的 Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF) -Epoxy 复合材料。考虑到确定作为渔船制造原材料的复合材料机械性能的重要性,本研究旨在确定 Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF) 在聚合物基复合材料中的应用。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和 ImageJ 软件分析了复合材料的形态。评估的机械性能包括拉伸强度、弯曲强度和硬度。制备复合材料时,CAP 的添加量分别为 0%、10% 和 30%,ALF 的固定比例为 40%。结果表明,添加 CAP 后,拉伸强度显著提高到 128.51 兆帕,伸长率为 0.068%,弹性模量为 1787.39 兆帕,硬度值为 75.2 HD。此外,添加 10% 的碳后,弯曲强度显著提高,达到 238.51 兆帕。这种改善可归因于孔隙率的降低,从而增强了 ALF-CAP-Epoxy 成分之间的粘合力。CAP 含量最高的复合材料的抗弯强度显著提高,达到 238.51 兆帕。因此,Agel 叶纤维具有在复合材料制造中用作增强材料的潜力,可用于制造环保型渔船船体。
