Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB)-based composites were produced using different types of thermoplastic as matrices. The composites were produced by using an internal mixer. The mechanical and water absorption properties of composites were investigated. Overall, the incorporation of EFB into the polymer matrix has resulted in the reduction of flexural strength. The poor performance has been attributed to the poor filler-matrix interaction. Both flexural and tensile modulus of PE and PP composites have been improved upon the addition of fillers, however, both PS and PVC composites showed a decreasing trend. Tensile strength and elongation at break results for all composites have been reduced as the result of incorporation of filler. This has been attributed to the poor filler-matrix interaction or compatibility, size irregularity and also decreased ductile deformation. Water absorption and thickness swelling increased as the filler loading is increased. This has been attributed to the presence of hyrophillic hydroxyl groups of the filler. |
