Abstract | In this study, gomuti fibres/polyester composites are examined for tensile and flexural properties. The specimens are produced by hand lay-up method for practicality. Fibre forms are in four variations that are random original layout, chopped random, unidirectional and woven mat. The fibres are not chemically treated for the purpose to initially evaluate and determine the properties of untreated gomuti fibres/polyester composites. Results showed that specimens with unidirectional orientation have the highest average tensile strength. Meanwhile, woven mat specimens have the highest flexural strength. It is noted from the experimental results that gomuti fibres have a potential prospect as fibre reinforcement in composites. |
