| description | In this research, hybrid kenaflcoconut fibres reinforced polyester composites were
developed and enhanced with nano filler Oil Palm Shell (OPS). The raw OPS was
subjected to grinding followed by high-energy ball milling for 30 hours to become
OPS nano particles. Characterization of OPS nano filler such as surface
morphologies, elemental composition and functional groups were evaluated by using
Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis
(SEM with EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) respectively.
The SEM-EDX images revealed that OPS nano filler produced consisted of crushed
and irregular shape structures with presence of carbon and oxygen as a major
elements composition. Besides, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray
Diffraction (XRD) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to characterize
particle size, crystallinity index and thermal properties of OPS nano filler
respectively. The TEM micrograph revealed that OPS particles size ranged between
10 to 30 nm indicates their nanometric nature. |
