This research is to develop the natural Activated Carbon (AC) composites prepared from carbon coconut shell reinforced
with polypropylene (PP). Carbon coconut shell were selected from in-productive of coconut shell specifically namely as
c
arbon Komeng coconut shell (CKCS) with different weight percentages of AC (6, 4 and 2wt%) and PP (4, 6 and 8wt%)
co
ntents. The specimens were then encapsulated with epoxy resin. The entire specimens were prepared using SRM
(Silicon
Rubber Moulds) with dumbbell shape and rectangular shape according to the standard ASTM D2099 and ASTM
D25
6 respectively. The mechanical properties of all samples were investigated to characterize the quality of the samples.
T
he morphological studies of reinforced samples were observed by using SEM machine. The results showed that the
tensile stress
was increased when AC is increased specifically for sample 4 wt% and 8 wt%. Maximum tensile stresses
lead by sample 4 wt% with 30 MPa.
