Abstract

In this study epoxy matrix, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibres, jute fibres and oil palm EFB/jute fibre reinforced epoxy hybrid composites in different layering pattern at EFB: jute ratio (50:50) fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The thermal conductivity of epoxy matrix, oil palm EFB, jute and oil palm EFB/jute hybrid reinforced epoxy composites has been evaluated by Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyser (Hot Disk TPS2500 S) equipped with Hot Disk Analysis Software version 5.9. Obtained results indicated that thermal conductivity of epoxy matrix increased with reinforcing of oil palm EFB and jute fibres. Hybridization of oil palm EFB with jute fibres allows an increased in thermal conductivity of oil palm EFB/jute hybrid composites. We concluded that oil palm EFB/jute hybrid composites can be used for thermal applications in automotive and construction industry to save energy.
