Kenaf-core sandwich panels were prepared by hand lay-up method with the optimum characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of modified epoxy on the mechanical properties of the sandwich panel. Mechanical test such as flexural, drop impact and tensile test were performed to investigate the optimum system of kenaf-core sandwich panel within 0-5wt% of kenaf fiber content. It revealed that the optimum loading of kenaf fiber was at 3wt%. Furthermore, this system was studied with the incorporation of liquid natural rubber (LNR) as impact modifier. All tests have been carried out according to the ASTM 365, C297, C393, and D1736. Each final data point is an average value that has been obtained based on a statistical sampling of four specimens. The main element of core structure is kenaf and the skin used in this study is aluminium type 1100. According to compression, flatwise tensile, three point bending and drop impact tests, 3wt% of LNR content exhibit as an excellent impact modifier, in modifying the mechanical properties due to rubber toughening. In addition of too much liquid natural rubber more than 5wt% was substantially interrupted the system.

Crosslinked polyester clay nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing originically modified montmorillonite in prepromoted polyester resin and subsequently crosslinked using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst at different clay concentration. Cure process and the mechanical properties of rubber toughened polyester clay composite have been studied. Rubber toughened thermoset polyester composite were prepared by adding 3 per hundred rubber (phr) of liquid natural rubber (LNR) was used in the mixing of producing this composite. Modification of polyester matrix was done due to the brittle problem of polyester composite. Addition of LNR will increase the toughness of composite and produce ductile polyester. Two types of composites were produced which is clay-lnr polyester composite and clay polyester composite. Addition of liquid natural rubber significantly increased the impact strength and flexural properties. Result shows that addition of 6% of clay-lnr composite give good properties on impact, strength and flexural. From the ESCR test, both composites showed good resistance to environmental.
