3.1. Project Work The project is an experimental base project. Specifically, it is a study of tensile and flexural test of woven kenaf fiber reinforced HDPE composites. First and for most, the project begin with the research on several issues which had been mentioned in the project activities above. With the collective information, the project was preceded with the literature review on the composite materials, kenaf fiber and natural fiber as reinforcement for composites. After completing the literature review, the project moved on to the designation of the mold. A square mold was designed with the parameters according to the size of compression molding available in the university. Next, start with weaving the kenaf with the size of 24 cm X 24 cm which was according to the size of the mold cavity. After the mold was ready from the manufacturer, HDPE layers were fabricated. Before the composites were fabricated, the amount of the kenaf and HDPE was calculated and weighed carefully. The weight percentage of HDPE/woven kenaf were varied to be 90/10 and 80/20. Then, the composites were fabricated with compression molding by using the sandwich techniques. The sample then cut according to the rectangular shape manually. In this project, the 5 samples were produced for each composite material for tensile test by following the ASTM D638 standard. 9PDF Image | Woven Kenaf Reinforced High Density Polyethylene HDPE
