“…Also some references have been found about the extraction of fibres from Agave Americana L. leaves for their use in composites production [12][13][14]. It has been demonstrated that the fibres extraction process greatly influences the properties of the obtained fibres; Bezazi et al have shown that fibres obtained without water use (by burying the leaves in the ground for 3 months) had better mechanical properties than fibres from water retting [15].…”

“…Other authors have used a pectinase solution for fibres obtaining [16,17] or a hydrolysis process followed by leaf calendaring [18]. Traditional process consist in drying the leaves, boiling them (or water retting them) [19] and then removing the non-fibrous materials by squashing leaves [14] or by means of a knife [12]. Mechanical scrapping process is also used for fibres obtained from agave [20,21].…”

This paper summarises the results obtained from the characterization assays from century plant (Agave americana L.), determining the chemical composition of different parts of the plant. Fibres were obtained by means of a mechanical device, specifically designed and built for Agave americana leaves processing. Obtained fibres were subjected to thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectra, and their chemical composition was also determined by quantitative acid hydrolysis. Once obtained, fibres were blended up to 40% (in weight) to obtain composites by compression moulding, using polyethylene as matrix; mechanical testing show improvements in elastic modulus for both tensile and flexural tests; increase in flexural maximum strength were also found for the composites, while tensile strength is slightly reduced with the introduction of agave fibres. The research is part of a project developed in the Macaronesian region, which aim is to demonstrate the feasibility of using biomass from invasive plant species in the composites sector as a way of financing control campaigns and habitats conservation labours, which is the main novelty of this research.

“…Seiring dengan perkembangannya, penerapan komposit dalam kehidupan seharihari tidak terlepas dari isu lingkungan karena sulit terurai. Oleh sebab itu, komposit yang ramah lingkungan, mudah terurai, sustainable, dan dapat diperbaharui merupakan salah satu syarat yang penting dalam proses pembuatan komposit [5,6]. Oleh sebab itu, penggunaan natural fiber sangat dibutuhkan sebagai penguat komposit yang mana juga memiliki harga yang relatif murah [6,7].…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pressure and woven angle on the tensile strength of natural fiber laminate composite. Pandanus tectorius and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was used as natural fiber and matrix, respectively. The epoxy adhesive joint is used to connect between natural fiber and matrix. The pressure time of 10 s,15 s, 30 s and the pressure of 20 N/mm 2 , 40 N/mm 2 , 60 N/mm 2 were used in this study. In addition, the angle of the 0 o / 90 o and 45 o / 45 o woven angle is used as the initial reference for fiber orientation before pressure is applied. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the addition of a pressure of 60 N / mm 2 and pressure time of 30 s has the highest tensile strength both at the angle of 0 o / 90 o and 45 o / 45 o. However, the tensile strength at the angle of 0 o / 90 o is higher that 45 o / 45 o. In addition, the number of adhesives decreased with increasing the pressure which will lead to delaminating.

“…Biocomposites is the one composed of polymer matrix with natural fibers, like agave, kenaf, hemp, etc [4] . Natural fibers is the following advantages compared with synthesis Volume 20 (1) 2021 fibers, example available widely particularly in Indonesia, light, low-cost, non corrosive, and having low density [5]. Polymer matrix often used in composites material is themoplastic, like PE, PP, and PVC, and thermoset, like unsaturated polyester, epoxy, and phenol [6].…”

Natural fiber reinforced composites is one materials potentially developing in Indonesia. One of biggest problem with composites specimen is its void. One properties to find out void of composites is composites density value. The objective of research is to investigate the effect of fiber alkali (NaOH) treatment and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) addition on density value of cantala fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. Firstly, cantala fibers was submerged into alkali (NaOH) 6% solution for 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours. Furthermore, the fiber was washed using acetid acid and then using clean water to reach pH 7. Thereafter, cantala fiber was dried in the oven for 10 hours at temperature 600C. Composites was composed of cantala fiber, unsaturated polyester polymer matrix, and microcrystalline cellulose according to the composition with volume fraction 30%. Composites was casted using compression molding method with compressive strength of 10 MPa for 12 hours. All specimens of composites undertake post cure for 2 hours at 600C. Density test was conducted using densimeter by calculating the density of composites in the air and the water. The result of research showed that the longer the alkali treatment time and the more addition of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) filler, the higher is the composites density. The higher density value of cantala fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester is alkali treatment 6 hours, which was 1.223 gr/cm3.
