| dc.description.abstract | This research was conducted to determine the effect of composition comparison of
matrix and filler on the physical and mechanical properties of particel board made from
epoxy resin filled with clam shell nanoparticle powder (Polymesoda erosa). This
research used epoxy resin matrix and epoxy hardener in the comparison of (60:40)%
and composition comparison of matrix and filler of 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30 and
60:40 (b/b). The method used in this composite making is compression molding. This
research was carried out through several stages such as the preparation of clam shell
nanoparticle powder, particle boards making and particle board physical and
mechanical properties analysis. The test parameters performed include Fourier
Transform – Infra Red (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM), density, Modulus of Elasticity (MoE), Modulus of
Rupture (MoR), thickness swelling and impact strength. The research result shown the
best Modulus of Elasticity (MoE) value is 29.937,755 MPa, the best Modulus of
Rupture (MoR) value is 49,556 MPa, the best impact strength value is 189,36 J/m2,
density and thickness swelling tend to increase with the enhancement of filler with the
biggest value respectively 1,376 g/cm3 and 6%. | en_US |
