Reinforcing Filler

In this work, rice husk silica (RHS), obtained from rice husk waste, was used as a reinforcing filler for preparing PBAT composites. The RHS surface was modified using a silane coupling agent, i.e. γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), in order to facilitate interfacial adhesion between PBAT matrix and RHS filler. The contents of MPS were varied between 0.5 - 5.0 % based on weight of RHS. FTIR spectra indicated the appearance of MPS molecules on RHS surface. Untreated RHS and MPS treated RHS were used to produced RHS/PBAT composites containing 30%wt RHS. The results showed that mechanical properties of the PBAT composites can be enhanced by treating RHS surface with 2 %wt MPS.

Water hyacinth is an aquatic weed which has potential of natural fiber as raw material of composites. The mechanical properties and the availability of water hyacinth in tropical country are a potential that could be developed as natural fiber in composite. In this experiment, surface of water hyacinth treated by silane coupling agent for adhering with epoxy resin. Dry water hyacinth can be obtained by cold pressed and hot pressed which the temperature are varied. The tensile strength of water hyacinth that hot pressed treatment at 110 oC, is 28.36 N/mm2. Silane coupling agent is used for surface treatment. The immersion time of Dry water hyacinth in silane coupling agent is varied from 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The Composite with 15 minutes of immersion time of water hyacinth has the highest bending strength (20.524 N/mm2). From SEM observations showed that the influence of the silane coupling agent is very significant.
