Abstract

This research is about the fabrication of two types of lemongrass fibres which are cooked lemongrass fibres and juice waste lemongrass fibres reinforced HDPE composites using hot press compression moulding. Nine samples of composites were fabricated to investigate the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviours based on fibres volume fractions. The fibres volume fractions were calculated after the fabrication. Cooked lemongrass fibres with HDPE composites produced 10%, 13%, 17% and 20% of fibres volume fractions. Juice waste lemongrass fibres with HDPE composites produced 13%, 17%, 20% and 27% of fibres volume fractions. The results then compares regarding to mechanical properties and water absorption behaviours based fibres volume fractions and type of lemongrass fibres. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the tensile fracture of the composite samples.
