dc.description.abstract | Coconut shell (CS) reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites have been prepared by using hand lay-up and compression molding techniques. To improve fiber matrix adhesion, the CS (30 wt%) was chemically treated by two chemical treatments which are alkaline (NaOH) and alkaline-silane with concentration NaOH (6%) and silane (2%). To enhance the performance of CS-UPE composites, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) was also added as a nano filler. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the morphology of the composite samples. Mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural tests of untreated and chemical treated CS-UPE composites was also studied and compared. Overall, the use of alkalized treated CS-UPE composites showed the best mechanical (strength and modulus). Therefore, alkaline treated CS was selected to be re-prepared with graphene as nano filler in UPE composites at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt% filler loading, respectively. The presence of GNP in CS-UPE composites have demonstrated a significant enhancement in modulus properties but at the expense of tensile strength. The use of 1.0 wt% of GNP seems more optimize loading since the increment of GNP has reduced the tensile strength, which might be due to the agglomeration issue. | en_US |
