Abstract:

The effect of two types of oil palm fibres (bunch and fruit) on mechanical properties of polyester composites is examined in the current work considering different volume fractions. Tensile, compression, and flexural properties of the composites were investigated. In addition to that, tensile strengths were calculated theoretically using Hirsch model. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the fracture mechanism of the specimens. Single fibre pull-out tests were performed to determine the interfacial shear strength between polyester resin and both types of oil palm fibres. Resu

In this study, different natural fibres such as sisal, jute, hemp, coir, oil palm and banana were tested as filter media in rainwater harvesting systems. The superior one among the six fibre media was selected through adsorption studies based on its potential to adsorb nitrate (NO3-) ions from storm water. The results revealed that the adsorption of NO3- for coir, sisal, hemp and banana fibres, occurred mostly within the first 24 h, while the adsorption process took 18 h for oil palm and 6 h for jute fibre.

Abstract:

Fiber reinforced concrete was developed by incorporating discrete fibers into the concrete mass to combat the brittle reaction of concrete. The durability of natural fibers such as oil palm broom was established through an experimental investigation in which the fiber was treated to an alkalization-related treatment procedure. The research is based on the investigation of the use of Oil Palm Broom Fibres (OPBF) in structural concrete to enhance the mechanical characteristics of concrete. The OPBF were subjected to an alkali treatment with the use of sodium hydroxide of 4 %, 6 %, 8 % and 10% wi

Abstract:

The utilization of lightweight oil palm shell to produce high strength lightweight sustainable material has led many researchers towards its commercialization as structural concrete. However, the low tensile strength of Oil Palm Shell Concrete (OPSC) has hindered its development. This study aims to enhance the mechanical properties and flexural behaviours of OPSC by the addition of steel fibres of up to 3% by volume, to produce oil palm shell fibre-reinforced concrete (OPSFRC). The experimental results showed that the steel fibres significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of OPSFRC. The

Abstract:

Studies on the manufacture of medium density fiberboard (MDF) from oil palm frond (OPF) fibre were conducted to provide a sustainable and feasible source of lignocellulosic materials. The quality and properties of the fibre are very important as it dictates the final MDF properties. The properties of fibre like fibre pH, buffering capacity, and morphology can influence most of the MDF performances. Refining condition is one of the most important factors which determine the properties of the refined fibre. In this study, the effects of different refining pressures and temperatures on OPF fibre

Abstract:

Demand of softwood fiber has rapidly increased as a result from the variety of new softwood products. Therefore, nonwood fibers have been introduced as alternatives in pulp for presspaper making to supplement the limited wood fiber resources. Malaysia is the second largest producer of oil palm where the empty fruit bunch (EFB) has a potential to be developed as an insulating paper. This paper aims to determine the performance of EFB as non-wood fiber to evaluate its use as potential presspaper insulation in power transformer. The sample of EFB paper was produced through kraft pulping and labor

The present article reports the findings of a study into the behaviour of oil palm shell reinforced concrete (OPSRC) beams with the addition of kenaf fibres. This work aims at examining the potential of kenaf fibres to improve the strength and ductility of the OPSRC beams as well as observing its potential in serving as part of shear reinforcement in the beams. Two different arrangements of the shear links in OPSRC beams with a selection of kenaf fibres content (10kg/m3 and 20kg/m3, respectively) were tested under monotonic loading. The results show that the addition of kenaf fibres enhances t

The EFB: GF ratio was fixed as 70:30 and fibre loading was considered as 40 wt%. Microwave was used to treat the EFB fibre, which was soaked in a fixed mass concentration (12.5%) of alkali solution at different temperatures (70, 80 and 90°C) for a fixed period of ti

Natural fibers offer a sustainable alternative, with consistent absorption rates across a broad frequency range. These fibers, widely available in Malaysia, are non-toxic, lightweight, renewable, and eco-friendly, making them an attractive option. The safety benefits of natural fibers further enhance their appeal as sound absorbers, making them an excellent choice for those concerned about environmental impact and personal health.

OPSC with PAN fibres was found to exhibit reduced strength deterioration upon exposure to elevated temperatures of 100 °C, 200 °C and 400 °C. The strain at peak stress and the compressive ductility of OPSC were also increased with the addition of PAN fibres. Despite the reduced workability,

As an edible oil, palm oil is also safe and reliable in dyeing, and the residual palm oil after dyeing can be recycled and used continuously, which is green and environmentally friendly and has great research prospects. In this research, raw ramie yarn, used for traditional grass cloth, was dyed in a palm oil medium using Reactive Blue 194. Studying the adsorption and diffusion behaviour in the dyeing process is necessary. Additionally, the kinetics and isotherm model of dyeing raw ramie yarn with Reactive Blue 194 in palm oil is studied, and the adsorption behaviour between them is discussed.

The study concludes that OPSC cast using fully treated (Wash-Dry-Sieve) OPS yields the highest compressive strength, an increase of 65% in comparison with using untreated OPS. The increase in strength can be attributed to 1) Removal of residual oil on OPS surface via washing with detergent, mass 2% of the dry OPS mass, and 2) Removal of sub-2mm particles in OPS via sieving comprising of soil and OPS fi

Thirty years old palm trunks (OPT) were selected, felled and divided into peripheral, middle and inner zones. Only the basal portion of the OPT was used to reduce variability of sampling. Microwave treatment of the OPT samples were conducted by using a domestic microwave oven operating at 2.45 GHz and with maximum rated power output of 950 watt. The samples were microwave-treated at four different power intensities of 950, 700, 500 and 300 watts and for four different exposure durations
