Abstract
This paper studies the influence of glass fibre addition and benzoylation treatment on the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of sugar palm composites. Glass fibre (GF) was added in various fibre ratios: 30%, 50% and 70%, related to the amount of sugar palm fibre (SPF). The results obtained revealed that the EP/30TSPF/70 G F composites exhibited the best tensile properties by increasing the tensile strength by 55.7%. For thermal analysis, the results show that EP/TSPF/GF composites had the most improvement in the initial and final degradation temperature. It can be concluded that, benzoylation treatment help improves the adhesion of the SPF to the GF and to the epoxy matrix. Glass fibre addition helps enhanced the characteristics of the SPF composites as the GF overcome the weakness of SPF. This hybrid composites show promising characteristics to be applied for non-structural application as example food tray table.
