The objective of this study is to explore the use
of bamboo as the filler in a hybrid composite by
a better understanding on how the natural fiber
can contributes to the strenght of products.
The analysis and development carried out is
through the experiment on the laminated woven
bamboo mixed with glass fiber and polyester
for panel product.The study will give the benefit
to the knowledge of the natural materials in
construction application product using hand
lay-up laminate method, the characteristics of
optimum lay-up process to the hybrid materials
used by the various configuration of sequence
and thickness, the behaviour of polymer and
natural fiber towards the specific parameters of
laminate process as well as economic potential
of bamboo (with value added) that available in
Malaysia.
The width of the Cellulose Microfibril/Nanofibril
(CMNF) has been estimated. The true lateral
width of native cellulose microfibrils is smaller
than the presently accepted value and is not yet
justified by direct experimental evidence.
In recent years, the sustainable environment
is being debated as an important measure
to assuage the global warming and so many
other type of pollution due to degradation of
global environment. A preventive measure
must be implemented as soon as possible to
enable the environment is being protected. The
main objectives of this study are to identify the
factors and elements affecting the living quality
in Malaysian urban neighbourhood, to evaluate
the sustainable living quality factors, to assess
the sustainable living elements, to propose
the decision making model for evaluate the
sustainable neighbourhood practice and finally,
to integrate the decision making model into
the Malaysian urban neighbourhood planning
processes. The review of structure plans, the
questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews
were employed to fulfil the objective and to
gather information on opinions of occupants
and stakeholders in urban residential area. The
study had found 21 sustainable neighbourhood
elements which were segregated into 3 factors
that are economical, social and environmental
factors. The Sustainable Neighbourhood
Elements (SNEs) model system was proposed
to be applied to the current planning and
design system. The SNEs model software can
enhance the current implementation to be
more transparent as it can indicate the real time
examples especially on green space elements
in the neighbourhood. It provides a cumulative
qualitative importance of the sustainability
status and as the guidance of the planning and
design of neighbourhood area. The software
therefore indicates how close a neighbourhood
is to achieve the sustainability status. Finally, it
is assumed that the closer the neighbourhood is
to those elements, the more sustainable it is.
