The effect on tensile and surface morphological properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre through hot water treatment
The utilisation of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fibre, a significant crop in Malaysia, is a viable option for incorporation into cement-based products due to the substantial amount of waste it generates. Nevertheless, the presence of extractives has a significant impact on the performance of...

| description | The utilisation of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fibre, a significant crop in
Malaysia, is a viable option for incorporation into cement-based products due to the substantial
amount of waste it generates. Nevertheless, the presence of extractives has a significant impact
on the performance of EFB fibre and leads to an inherent incompatibility between EFB fibre and
cement. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of varied temperatures
and soaking durations on the physical and mechanical properties of EFB fibre as a reinforcement
material. This research aimed to contribute new insights into the performance of these qualities
under varying conditions. The result from the tensile strength shows that the EFB fibre increased
dramatically with temperature at all soaking times. Nevertheless, extended periods of soaking
have been found to have a detrimental effect on the tensile strength of fibres due to the process
of deterioration. This leads to a weakening or damage to the fibres. Thus, the surface morphology
observation proved that as temperature increased, the number of silica bodies removed from the
fibre surface increased (800
C, 900
C and 1000
C) at all soaking hours. However, starting at 700
C
(3 hour soaking time), the circular craters on the surface and the lignin layer start to damage.
Therefore, these findings exhibit considerable potential for future investigation in substantiating
the viability of employing EFB fibres as reinforcement agents in composite materials |
