LAMINATES &

REINFORCED PLASTIC
MATERIAL & PROCESSES
1. LAMINATES
Definisi
Bahan plastik yang terbentuk dengan
mengikat bersama-sama lembaran
penyusunnya.
Beberapa Faktor Disain
Physical Properties
Electrical Properties
Tubes & Rods
Stability
Faktor Disain
Physical Properties
Secara subtansial bahan plastik physical
propertiesnya meningkat dengan
penambahan fiber.
Tensile strength, flexural strength lebih
tinggi laminate dari pada neat polymer
Sifat Anisotropic: Reinforced plastics
(khususnya laminate) sifat bahan sangat
tergantung dari arah pengukuran
Faktor Disain
Electrical Properties
Konstanta dielektrik laminate dan reinforced plastics sangan
berhubungan dengan sifat dan jumlah bahan fiber.
Tube & Rods
Tube bisa dibentuk dengan heat rolling
Rods (batang silinder) dapat dibuat langsung dengan
cetakan.
Stability
Dibanding Thermoplastics, Thermosetting lebih stabil
dalam banyak hal, thermal resistance dan electrical
properties
Bahan Serat
Glass Fibers
Dibentuk dari suatu lelehan bahan campuran
dengan komposisi sesuai spesifikasi (lihat tabel)
Asbestos
Assabestos fibers (crysotile)  flame resistance &
thermal resistance
Cotton or Linen
Nylon
Short Inorganic Fibers
Banyak digunakan bersamaan dengan mineral
filler, baik pada thermosetting maupun
thermoplastics.
Polyethylene
Ribbons or Flakes
Metals
Aramid
Boron, Carbon, Graphite, or
Ceramic Fibers

Jenis Susunan Fiber
Continuous Strand
This lightweight mat is
typically used as a surfacing
layer on laminations to
improve surface finish and to
provide a resin rich area in
corrosion resistant tank
linings

Chopped Strand Mat

Chopped strand fiberglass mat
is the most extensively used
reinforcement in the fiberglass
industry. The advantages of
mat versus fabrics are their
low cost
Jenis Susunan FIber

Woven Roving
Woven Roving is used in
laminating large fiberglass parts
such as boats and tanks where
an inexpensive, high impact,
high strength reinforcement is
required. Woven roving should
be used with mat whenever
bonding to plywood or making
repairs.
 Jenis Fiber

Kevlar Fabric
This was one of the first high strength synthetic fibers to
gain acceptance in the reinforced plastics industry. Unlike
the previous synthetic reinforcing fibers, KEVLAR ｮ has a
considerably higher tensile strength and modulus than
fiberglass. KEVLAR ｮ is usually used for structures requiring
good stiffness, high abrasion resistance, and light weight.
Current applications include lightweight boat hulls such as
kayaks and canoes, aircraft fuselage panels, pressure vessels
high performance race cars and other applications where a
high strength to weight ratio is required. May be used with
epoxy or vinyl ester resin.
Jenis Fiber
Weave Graphite Fabric
carbon fiber is the most
commonly used type for
lightweight aerodynamic
parts
weave fabric offers the
cosmetic appearance so
desirable on modern
composite parts
