Abstract

Pineapple leaf fiber/brass/MgO/epoxy hybrid composites has been fabricated and its tensile properties, hardness and wear rate have been investigated. Whilst the fiber is in the form of short fiber (2 mm long), the brass and MgO are particles. The total volume fraction of the fillers was kept constant at 40% with three different ratios, i.e. 5:3:2, 6:2:2 and 7:1:2. The specimens were individually casted using cold press technique. Tensile properties, hardness and wear rate were evaluated in accordance with the ASTM D 638 type IV, ASTM E10 and Ogoshi method, respectively. Their fracture modes were evaluated by closely observed by means of their SEM photomicrographs and optical micrographs, respectively. The results show that the wear rate, hardness and elastic modulus increase with the increase of pineapple leaf fiber content. The highest wear resistance, hardness and elastic modulus were found being 3.728x10-8 mm2/kg, 20.41 BHN, and 407.34 MPa, respectively, at filler content ratio of 5:3:2. Besides, relatively uniform filler distribution and small amount of voids were also noted from the micrographs being obcerved.
