"Sifat mampu basah komposit merupakan salah satu kunci utama dalam peningkatan sifat mekanis komposit. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi orientasi, kerapatan dan perlakuan permukaan pada serat terhadap sifat mampu basah komposit. Serat yang digunakan adalah fiberglass dan pengukuran sudut kontak dilakukan dengan metode image processing. Hasil pengaruh dari variasi didapatkan dari hubungan variasi terhadap sudut kontak dan waktu pembasahan. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, orientasi serat 45°/45° menghasilkan sudut kontak yang lebih rendah, namun membutuhkan waktu pembasahan yang lebih lama dibandingkan dengan orientasi serat 0°/90°. Perbedaan sudut kontak mencapai 6 derajat lebih rendah dan waktu pembasahan 20 detik lebih lama pada orientasi serat 45°/45°. Sedangkan untuk pengaruh kerapatan, kerapatan serat 900 menghasilkan sudut kontak yang lebih rendah dan waktu pembasahan yang lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan kerapatan serat 1250. Perbedaan sudut kontak mencapai 5 derajat lebih rendah dan waktu pembasahan hanya 7 detik lebih cepat. Adanya perlakuan permukaan berupa perendaman dengan NaOH 5% mampu menurunkan sudut kontak hinga 25 derajat untuk resin epoksi dan 3 derajat untuk resin poliester tak jenuh serta mempercepat waktu pembasahan 10 detik. Dengan menggunakan resin poliester tak jenuh, sudut kontak yang dihasilkan lebih kecil dan waktu pembasahan yang lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan resin epoksi.

Wettability of composite is one of key to increase mechanical properties of composite. This research focused on the effect of orientation, density and surface treatment on fiber to the characteristic of composite?s wettability. The fiber used in this research is fiberglass and the method for contact angle measurement is image processing. The result for those variations can be obtained from contact angle and wetting time. According to result, fiber with orientation 45°/45° gives lower contact angle but longer wetting time than fiber with orientation 0°/90°. For orientation 45°/45°, the differences in contact angle reaches 6 degree lower and the wetting time is 20 second longer. In case of fiber density, the sheet with 900 of fiber density 900 has lower contact angle and faster wetting time than the sheet with 1250 of fiber density. The sheet with 900 of fiber density has results that 5 degree lower for contact angle and 7 second faster for wetting time. The surface treatment with NaOH 5% can decrease the contact angle until 25 degree for epoxy resin used and 3 degree for unsaturated polyester used, also accelerate the wetting time until 10 second. The use of unsaturated polyester results smaller contact angle and faster wetting time than using epoxy resin."

Glass fibre reinforced polymer GFRP composites have a weakness in fire resistant property. The addition of clay can improve the fire resistant property of GFRP. However, a good mixing is needed to disperse the clay. This research aims to observe the effect of clay and mixing conditions on fire resistance, impact strength, and flexural modulus of GFRP clay composites. Unsaturated polyester UP , glass fiber and 3 Aminopropyltriethoxysilane respectively were used as a matrix, a reinforcement and a compatibilizer respectively to build the composites. Unsaturated polyester clay silane were mixed using a magnetic stirrer with a variation of rotation speed and mixing duration. The composites were fabricated using a vacuum bagging method. The composition of clay was varied from 1, 2, and 3 wt. The rotation speed and mixing time were varied at 100, 150, 200 rpm and 60, 90, and 120 minutes, respectively.

One type of materials that is currently quite popular and evolve is a glass fiber reinforced polymer composite material (GFRP). This is due to the economic value and good mechanical properties that can be produced by the composite material. There are many factors that can affect the nature/ characteristics of GFRP composite materials, including the orientation of glass fiber and heat treatment.

This study discusses the influence of woven glass fiber orientation and the duration of heat treatment on the properties/ characteristics of GFRP composite materials. The fiber-oriented GFRP composites were manufactured using the hand lay-up method. GFRP composite specimens subsequently subjected to heat treatment and carried out tests in the form of tensile, bending, impact, and also observation of fracture appearance of tensile test specimens which had the highest and lowest test values.

From the results of the research conducted, it was concluded that the orientation of woven glass fibers had a significant effect on the tensile and impact properties of the material and had a less significant effect on the bending properties of the GFRP composite. The fiber orientation of [00 or 900]s in the GFRP composite material produces the highest characteristic values when compared to the fiber orientation [00 or 900] / [450] and [450]s. While the duration of heat treatment does not affect the tensile, bending and impact properties of the GFRP composite material."

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is very popular among other material due to its economic value and reliability. As an application to subsea pipeline, the main challenge of GFRP is the process of wet curing which is required by epoxy composite to form a strong bonding of cross link in subsea environment and consequently can effect mechanical properties.

This study evaluated the factors that might affect the performance of epoxy composite material and its bonding to metal, i.e. curing duration, temperature, and salinity. GFRP composite with two different types of hardener which are polyamine and cyclic amine were manufactured by hand lay-up method. Then, the specimens were manufactured in atmospheric, sea water, and distillation water with different variables such as 12, 24, and 48 hours curing time; temperature; and salinity. Then, the specimens were tested for their tensile, flexural, impact, and bonding strength. The last, observation of fracture appearance was done by SEM.

Result of the study, concluded that GFRP with polyamine hardener was failed to create cross link on wet curing process while the one with cyclic amine hardener successfully created cross link. However, the mechanical characteristic was a bit lower, such as the tensile strength decreased to 10% and the adhesion strength of the bonding decreased to 16%. For the future, this study can be investigated by field testing."
