 This study examines the water absorption of sago hampas biocomposite utilizing glycidyl methacrylate as its matrix. Composites were fabricated with 25, 30, 40 wt% sago hampas content and another sample of pure sago hampas using hydraulics hot press machine. The water absorption properties of composites with different sago hampas composition were investigated according to Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials of ASTM D570. Water absorption of pure sago hampas composite have the highest average water absorption percentage with 59.1 wt% as compared to the lowest average water absorption percentage recorded for 30 wt% sago hampas content biocomposite with 16.8%. However sago hampas loading was increased resulting in the increased in average water absorption on biocomposite for 40 wt% sago hampas content which is 33.1%.

The effect of particle size of iron and size of reinforce particle on properties of materials was studied systematically by the specimen current direct heating dynamic hot press sintering. It is found that mechanical properties of composites increase with the increasing particle size of iron. The properties of SiCp/Fe composites firstly increase and decrease with particle size of SiC and properties are better when size is 15μm.

Press Method

In this work, mesoporous silica with designated amount was added in kenaf/epoxy composites to improve the mechanical properties of the composite and reduce the water uptake of fabricated composites. The composites were fabricated using hot press method (HP) and impregnation method (IMP). For HP specimens, silica was dispersed into epoxy resin using homogenizer before being applied to the kenaf mat and subsequently hot pressed. While for IMP specimens, the kenaf mat was placed inside the silica/epoxy solution under 600 mm Hg impregnation pressure before being hot pressed. The results for flexural properties revealed that IMP specimen with 40 vol% of kenaf fibre and 5 vol% of silica have the highest strength and modulus at 78.6 MPa and 5.11 GPa respectively. Same trend can be seen for compressive properties as the same specimen had the highest compressive strength and modulus at 69.3 MPa and 1.81 GPa respectively. Finally for water absorption properties, IMP specimens had a reduction in water uptake compared to its HP specimen counterparts with the same kenaf and silica content. IMP specimen with 60 vol% kenaf and 5 vol% silica had the lowest water uptake after 90 days of immersion in distilled water at 13.5% increase in weight.

Properties Of Composites

Phoenix sp. fiber-reinforced epoxy composites have been manufactured using compression molding technique. The effect of reinforcement volume content (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) and size (300 µm particles, 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm fibers) on quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties was investigated. Moreover, the water absorption properties of composites were analyzed at different environmental conditions (10℃, 30℃, and 60℃). For each reinforcement size, composites loaded with 40% in volume show highest tensile and flexural properties. Furthermore, composites with 300 µm particles present the best impact properties and the lowest water absorption, regardless of the environmental condition. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composites loaded with 40% in volume were analyzed by varying the reinforcement size and the load frequency (i.e., 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 5 Hz, and 10 Hz). It was found that the glass transition temperature of short fiber-reinforced composites is higher than that of the composite loaded with particles.

Cavitation Erosion Resistance

Copper matrix composites reinforced with ZrB2 particles were produced in two ways: by hot pressing (HP) and laser-sintering process. Powder mixture Cu-Zr-B was mechanically alloyed before densification processes. Variations in the microstructure of treated samples obtained during cavitation test were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cavitation erosion resistance was investigated with the standard test method for cavitation erosion using vibratory apparatus. Changes in mechanical alloying duration show a strong influence on cavitation erosion resistance of Cu–ZrB2 composites regardless the number of reinforcements. Laser-sintered samples show better cavitation erosion resistance than hot-pressed samples.

Water Absorption Test

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze about absorption properties of the composite laminate, microstructure hybrid sisal and banana fiber with epoxy matrix. Composite manufacturing was done by hand lay-up method with a ratio of fiber volume fraction of sisal and banana trunks 0:40, 10:30, 15:25, 20:20, 30:10, 40:0 (%) With direction of sisalana agave fiber orientation and banana fiber by fiber length according to the mold. Specimen testing was done by the water absorption test with the standard ASTM D571-8,. Test results obtained from the average water absorption properties of composites with the highest ratio of fiber volume fraction of 40%: 0% is 42.4% while the lowest average water absorption properties contained in the composite with fiber volume fraction of 0%: 40%, with percentage of 11.5%. Therefore we can conclude the increasing volume fraction of sisal fiber withidirection of  fiber orientation, the lower of water absorption properties and conversely increasing the volume of woven banana fiber orientation, the higher of water absorptionproperties.

Properties Of Composites

In this research aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) was reinforced by titanium carbide (TiC) particles and was produced. Powder metallurgy technique (PM) has been used to fabricate AMCs reinforced with various amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20% volume fraction) of TiC particles to study the effect of different volume fractions on mechanical properties of the Al-TiC composites. Measurements of compression strength and hardness showed that mechanical properties of composites increased with an increase in volume fraction of TiC Particles. Al-20 % vol. TiC composites exhibited the best properties with hardness value (97HRB) and compression strength value (275Mpa).
