Abstract
Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFBS) and jute fibres were used as outer and inner layers to create a tri-layer hybrid composite. Oil palm EFBS-jute composites were tested for void content, tensile strength, and chemical resistance. The research examined the 4:1 oil palm EFBS-jute weight ratio. Optimized fibre loading and stacking patterns were tested. The Jute-fibre/EFBS/Jute-fibre hybrid composites had the maximum tensile strength of 28.72 MPa and a lower void content of 3.18%. Both hybrid composites have superior chemical resistance compared to pure fibres. However, Jute-fiber/EFBS/Jute-fiber hybrid composites outperform EFBS/Jute-fiber/EFBS hybrid composites, showing an improvement of 5% to 30% under various chemical conditions.
