Abstract

In this research, the tensile strength of composite with banana tree fiber reinforcement was studied. Fiber is extracted from banana tree bark, then treated with NaCl and dried. The matrix used is epoxy resin. In the manufacture of composites, the use of resin attempted as much as 20% by weight. Several composite samples were made with different fiber orientations namely 0°, random and woven. Then the strength of sample is tested against tensile loads. The test results showed that the tensile strength of the banana tree fiber composite did not increase and several samples were not as expected compared to the tensile strength of the epoxy resin.
