Abstract

Research has been carried out regarding the manufacturing process of polymer concrete made from a mixture of pumice, sand (1: 1), corn husk fiber, epoxy and thinner resin. This research was conducted to determine the characterization of polymer concrete which will be tested physically and mechanically with the best composition mixture. The physical properties of polymer concrete which were analyzed namely density, porosity and water absorption; mechanical properties including impact strength, flexural strength and compressive strength, and polymer concrete microstructure analysis, namely SEM-EDX. The best results were obtained with a mixture of pumice, sand (1:1), corn husk fiber, epoxy and thinner resin. The result are as stated here, density: 1.84 g/cm3 with composition (49:49:2) 30 g epoxy resin, porosity : 0.44% with composition (50:50:0) 20 g epoxy resin, water absorption: 1.8% with composition (50:50:0) 25 g of epoxy resin. Whereas mechanical properties, on impact tests: 4.956 KJ/m2 with composition of (47:47:6) 25 g epoxy resin, flexural test: 22.22 MPa with composition of (45:45:0) 30 g epoxy resin, pressure test: 8.41 MPa with composition of (49:49:2) 30 g epoxy resin. XRD analysis shows that each of its constituents still have quartz, pumice, quartz, pumice-shaped hexagonal crystals, while corn husk fibers are amorphous crystals. The average sound absorption coefficient for the three samples (20%, 25%, and 30%) are 0.178; 0.152; and 0.234 at a frequency of 500 Hz - 6300 Hz, which meets the requirements of ISO 11654 and ASTM C.384.

Abstract

Bioplastics are plastics that can be used like conventional plastics but can be more easily decomposed in the soil. Studies have been conducted to determine the effect of temperature variations in the gelatinization of porang starch on the manufacture of bioplastics with sorbitol plasticizers on their characterization. In this study, bioplastics have been produced which are made with variations in the composition of starch: chitosan (30:70) %, (40:60) %, (50:50) %, (60:40) %, and (70:30) % with the addition of sorbitol as a plasticizer and heating process at gelatinizing temperature variations of 70 ° C, 80 ° C, and 90 ° C. The results showed that the variation in gelatinization temperature affects the thickness, density, and absorbency of bioplastic water. Where the higher the temperature of gelatinization, the thickness of the bioplastics will decrease, the density of bioplastics will increase, and the absorption of bioplastic water decreases.

Abstract

The manufacture of biodegradable plastics with the main ingredients of talas beneng (Xanthosoma Undipes K. Koch) starch, chitosan, and glycerol as a plasticizer has been carried out by various additions of starch and reduction of chitosan. Initial assessment of talas beneng starch reveals: starch content - 20.51%, water content - 8.58%, fat content - 12.71%, and protein content - 3.51%. Physical testing of biodegradable plastic produces thickness values ranging from 0.166 mm to 0.234 mm, tends to meet JIS Z-1707: 2019 standards, density value is 1.674 g/cm3, and the lowest water absorption value is 20.51%, both meet SNI 7188: 2016 standards, and there is a decrease in mass every week for 28 days in the biodegradation test.

Abstract

Edible films present an eco-friendly alternative for food packaging compared to traditional plastic materials. This study investigates the effects of glycerol and sorbitol plasticizers on the properties of edible films. The research involves crafting these films using porang (Amorphophallus Oncophyllus) starch. Glycerol plasticizers were incorporated at a concentration of 100%, while sorbitol was utilized at varying levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) to evaluate their impact on film characteristics. The films were produced using the melt intercalation method at a gelatinization temperature of 80°C and a firing temperature of 70°C. Notably, the most favorable physical test outcomes were observed with adding 100% sorbitol, including thickness, density, water absorption, and degradability improvements. Meanwhile, adding 25% sorbitol yielded the highest tensile strength and elongation values.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the optimum composition in the manufacture of polymer concrete using Pahae natural zeolite, corn husk fiber, and polyurethane resin adhesives. This study used the hot-press method at 170℃ for 30 minutes. The compositions of zeolite and corn husk fiber tested were varied under three different additions of polyurethane resin of 15 g, 20 g, and 25 g, while the composition of sand was fixed at 60 g. The inclusion of corn husk fiber content reduces the density of the concrete and increases the porosity and water absorption. The physical properties analysis showed that the polymer concrete samples showed the highest density was 1.89 g/cm3 from 20 g of polyurethane resin and no addition of corn husk fiber; the highest porosity was 6.15% from 15 g of polyurethane resin and 10 g of corn husk fiber; and the highest water absorption was 5.85% from 15 g of polyurethane resin and 10 g of corn husk fiber. Because improved material quality and durability are linked to reduced water absorption rates in polymer concrete, the most favorable composition with minimal water absorption (0.51%) came from the sample utilizing 20 grams of polyurethane resin without incorporating corn husk fiber.
