SIFAT FISIK DAN MEKANIK KOMPOSIT KAYU SEMEN-SERBUK GERGAJI
Abstract: This research aims
to find out the effect of cement-saw dust ratio levels on the physical and
mechanical properties of produced composites. The physical properties (density,
water content, water absorption after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours,
and thickness swelling after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours) and
mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) were observed according to ISO standards.
The results showed that the use of the cement to sawdust ratio of 3 : 1 in
producing wood composite with the target density of 1200 kg/m3 resulted in the
lowest water absorption and the highest MOE and MOR. The swelling value and MOR
of the produced boards were not acceptable, but their water content, water
absorption, and MOE parameters were acceptable according to ISO 8335 1997.
