Development of a Mathematical Model Using DOE to Model the Young’s Modulus of Biocompatible Palm Fiber / LDPE Composite

EasyChair Preprint 11240, version 2

Abstract

There has been considerable research dealing with the use of ecofriendly mate-rials for the development of electronic devices. Within this context, Palm fibers were used to develop a biocompatible composite with a robust mechanical perfor-mance. To this end, this study focused on the preparation method of the Palm fiber / Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) biocomposite for a potential use as a substrate of acceleration sensor. Following the Design Of Experiments (DOE) methodology 10% and 20% of weight ratio of Palm fiber additive were added to the LDPE matrix to study the mechanical behavior of the proposed composite. A mathematical model describing the Young’s Modulus of the composite was proposed and checked through rigorous experimentation and statistical analysis proposed by the DOE. The resulting biocomposite exhibits improved mechanical properties in terms of Young’s modulus and ultimate strength.
