Abstract

In this research, a biocomposite made from brass, magnesium oxide and polyester is filled with coffee skin powder fibers using a compaction method using a hydraulic press machine as a specimen maker. Biocomposites have variations in coffee skin powder of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% by weight and were investigated for the hardness and surface morphology of brake lining. The hardness strength increased with the addition of coffee skin powder and was found to be higher than the matrix. Microscopic observation shows that the biocomposite bonds are not homogeneous. This is indicated by the presence of voids in the biocomposite specimen.
