Utilization of Agro-Waste <i>A. galanga</i> Natural Fibers in Composites
View through CrossRef
Utilization of locally abundant agro-waste Alpinia galanga (A. galanga) natural fibers in polyethylene (PE) was investigated. The results indicate that agro-waste fibers generally function as potential natural-organic fillers as well as show an attribute of reinforcement in PE-agro-waste composites at a certain fiber loading. Minimally reduced tensile strength from 28 MPa of unfilled PE, addition of agro-waste A. galanga natural fibers also resulted in reinforcement of up to 31 MPa at 6 wt% agro-waste fibers loading. Findings also reveal that alkali treatment was effective to impart surface modification of agro-waste A. galanga natural fibers and hence improved tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and thermal stability of PE-agro-waste composites.
