| Abstract Scope |
The demand for high quality and reliable components and materials is increasing, thus flexural test has become a vital test method both in research and in the manufacturing and development process to explain in detail about the material's ability to withstand deformation under load. This present research investigated the flexural properties of polymeric composites that reinforced by natural fiber, in particular the fique fabric, with the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) (0.1%; 0.5% and 0.9%wt) and degradation by immersion in water (0, 20 and 40 days), as it has never been reported. Using design of experiments (DoE), ie, 3-full factorial with two factors and three levels with two replications, aiming at analyzing the effects of important parameters that are the exposure time and the percentage of GNP addition. The output response measurement were identified as deflection, flexural strength and stiffness values. |
