Biodegradable pla-Kenaf Fibre Biocomposite for Cleaner Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This project was undertaken to study the biodegradability of PLA-KF biocomposite in different conditions; soil burial and immersion in water. The samples were buried in soil for 40 days to investigate the degradability of biocomposites. As for water absorption tests, the samples were immersed in three different types of water which were river water

Development of Reinforced Thermoplastic Elastomer with Kenaf Bast Fibre for Automotive Component
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper compared mechanical properties of kenaf fibre (KF) composites in different matrix systems namely; thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) and polypropylene/ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (PP/EPDM). Both composites were produced via melt blending method using Haake internal mixer, and then compression moulded. The ratio of thermoplastic:ela

Single Kenaf Fibre Properties via in Situ Monitoring Using Acoustic Emission
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Kenaf fibre reinforced polylactic acid biocomposites is a new material developed mainly due to the fact that it is environmentally friendly and alternative to the petroleum-based food packaging. Hence, it is important to determine mechanical properties of kenaf fibre for structural and physical applications. In this study, tensile properties and fr

An eco-Plastic Made of pla-Kenaf Fibre Biocomposite for Cleaner Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Every year more than 100,000,000 polyethylene terephtalate (PET) bottles are used in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Out of this gigantic figure, 85,000,000 PET bottles end up as garbage and caused the landfills to be filled by the PET bottle toxic wastes that leach into the soil. This may pollute and endangers our environment specifically our drin

Assessment of Benthic and Coral Community Structure in an Inshore Reef in Balok, Pahang, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Assessment of benthic and coral community structure in an inshore reef in Balok, Pahang, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 20: 872-877. Inshore water reef closer to human activities are often neglected since they are not protected by marine park management. Little is known on how this reef responses to challenging environment in terms of abundance, diversity

Classification and Types of Risk for Properties Belonging to low-Income and Poor Individuals in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In Islam, the presence of risk is not only acknowledged but steps need to be taken to manage it properly through the process of risk management. One of the processes is the identification of risk which involves classification and types of risk. Specifically, in the development of properties, the presence of risks is inevitable. Improper management

A Review of Project Development Stages (Plc) in Malaysian Landscape Architecture Industry
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Landscape architecture profession plays an important role in the built environment projects that conserve environment especially in a cityscape. Landscape architecture profession in Malaysia was officially formed in 1981 under the name Angkatan Lanskap Arkitek Malaysia (ALAM) and now with the name Institute Landscape Architecture Malaysia (ILAM), t

Corporate Board and Sustainability Reporting in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study examines the extent and quality of sustainability reporting after the introduction of the Sustainability Reporting Framework by Bursa Malaysia in 2015. Content analysis was performed on 98 company annual reports using a checklist comprising 90 indicators. The research also investigates whether board diversity has an impact on sustainabil

Method: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional with a quantitative study. There were 103 participants recruited. The data of this study were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Scienc

Experimental Testing of Oil Palm Fibre Composite Manufactured via Vacuum Bagging Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The objective of this research is to compare tensile strength of oil palm fibre composite produced from oil palm fibre of different configurations. Compressed random oil palm fibre and uncompressed random oil palm fibre reinforced polyester composite were manufactured using vacuum bagging technique. The volume fractions of the fibre to the resin we
