Determination of Mechanical Properties of Natural Cactus Adhesive
Journal Title: REST Journal on Emerging trends in Modelling and Manufacturing - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine mechanical properties on effect of curing time of natural cactus adhesive and compare with other adhesives. Tensile test on bulk cactus specimen stayed at room temperature and humidity for 5 days, 7 days and 11 days respectively were performed to determine the effect of curing time using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The range of mechanical property results for the different curing time was found young’s modulus (631.16-1507 MPa), tensile stress (76.73-118.68MPa) and strain (6.61-12.52%). When compare to other adhesives, cactus adhesive was found less stiff than AV 119 and Sika power 4720 adhesive but better tensile strength and strain. After 11 days of curing time, Cactus adhesive is found less stiff, but after 5 and 7 days curing time it is stiffer than XNR 6852 adhesive. XNR 6852 adhesive is found more strain than cactus adhesive.
