Abstract
This study investigates the impact toughness, tensile strength and morphology of the polyester matrix composite material reinforced with Musa acuminata stem fiber (MASF) and carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitryle (CTBN) filler.The fiber used was taken from the outer layer of the pseudo-stem banana species Musa acuminata, which came from Tanjung, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia.The results showed that the addition of CTBN caused the MASF-reinforced polyester matrix to decrease its tensile strength, but increase its impact toughness.The reason is that CTBN is elastic so that it can increase the ductility, the impact toughness of the specimen increases.Based on the results of the SEM test, the bond morphology between polyester, CTBN, MASF is good.
