【 摘 要 】

This research focuses on introducing a coffee husk as viable and efficient filler for enhancing physical and mechanical properties of Styrofoam based particleboard. Heat treatment method was adopted to produce the particleboard from the mixture of coffee husk (CH) with Styrofoam (PS). Styrofoam is material derived from polystyrene. The aim of this research is to get the appropriate weight composition between coffee husks with PS and to identify the physical and mechanical properties of the produced particleboard. The composition of coffee husk varies between 0-90%wt. The manufacture of particleboard i.e. coffee husk milled with size 20/10 mesh then soak with 10% NaOH for 2 hours, rinsed with clean water and dried and weight according to the composition. The mixture of CH and PS is inserted into mold and put into hot-press. The result shows from physical properties that density, water absorption and thick development test corresponding with SNI 03-2105-2006 standard, the mechanical properties shows MOR test meets the standard on the addition of CH 10-50%, while the MOE test has not meet the standard.
