Abstract

The study investigated the effect of durian skin fibre loading on the mechanical properties of durian skin fibre (DSF) composites. DSF are cellulose-based fibres extracted from durian skin. The fibre content in the composites in this study was varied from 10 to 70 vol of fibre loading. Increasing DSF content in the matrix (LLDPE-Eco) has reduced the tensile strength and impact of the composites meanwhile the flexural modulus increased up to 60 fibre loading. Morphological study observed by Scanning Electron Microscope showed that the interaction between DSF and matrix was poor which contributed to the reduction in the composite properties.
