Abstract

Natural fibers are potential alternatives to synthetic fibers.  Sago palm is a new type of natural fiber and has the potential same as other existing natural fibers.  In this study, the mechanical properties of sago palm/carbon fiber reinforced with epoxy hybrids were studied.  Impact tests were conducted to study the impact properties of sago palm-carbon fiber-reinforced X hybrid composites.  The hybrid composites contain woven sago palm fiber and carbon fiber reinforced with epoxy resin produced by the vacuum compaction method. Each sample was prepared with different volume fractions such as 40%, 64%, and 91% of composition sago palm fiber. After the preparation of composite material, mechanical properties tests were studied on the prepared sample. In addition, by using Scanning Electron Microscope Tests, the failure mode is investigated. It can be concluded that 40% of sago palm fiber contains the best impact behavior compared to 64% and 91% of sago palm fiber loading because it’s high in impact resistance.
