| Summary: | Nowadays thermoplastic composite is one of a famous way to undertake the pure plastic product. Pure plastic is expensive compare to composite plastic. To produce a new product of composite plastic bamboo, MECHANICAL AND WATER ABSOPTION PROPERTIES OF BAMBOO (Gigantoohla scortechinii) was chosen by 3 - years old bamboo. The mechanical and water absorption of the bamboo thermoplasic composite was determined. The mechanical properties that used are bending strength beside the water absorption. From the bending strength it showed the modulus of rupture and modulis of elesticity. The observation was carry out by different of bamboo flour and polypropylene with different addition of Maleated anhydride polyprpylene. From the study at 2% MAPP with ratio of 10:90 give the better MOR which is more tough and elastic compare to the others. And at 4% MAPP for 10:90 ratio give the best MOE, which is more elastic and can accep a high load. From the water absorption percentage observation it show that at 4% MAPP with ratio 10:90 or 30:70 have a good resistent to the water. To produce a good product it should high in MOR and low in MOE and percentage of water absorption to get the quality product. |
