Abstract

Noise pollution is sound that you do not want to hear or is known as noise. If people hears loud noises continuously, it can disrupt hearing function. Therefore, it is necessary to have noise control by making an acoustic material that will be coated on the room's walls. A cheap and environmentally friendly alternative material is using banana stem waste from the fibre taken and with polypropylene as a fibre binder. This research aims to determine the effect of variations in the mass composition of banana stem fibre with the matrix polypropylene on the value of the acoustic properties and porosity, and determine the relationship between porosity with acoustic properties. Characteristics of the acoustics that will be measured are sound absorption coefficient, sound reflection coefficient, and transmission loss. The method used is using a characterizaton tool with one microphone impedance tube and porosity test tool with a digital scale. Acoustic material is made by varying the mass percentage in the ratio of polypropylene and midrib fibre banana, namely 90%:10%; 85%:15%; 80%:20%; 75%:25%; and 70%:30%. Based on the research results, it is known that the more fibre composition in the composite, the sound absorption coefficient values, transmission loss values, and porosity values were higher produced, but the resulting sound reflection coefficient value was lower. Then, the relationship between porosity with acoustic properties was that the higher porosity value, the resulting sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss value are higher too. However, the resulting sound reflection coefficient value was getting lower.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Fe3O4 nanocomposite composition: Graphene Oxide on the optical properties of Fe3O4 Graphene Oxide nanocomposite by obtaining the results of absorbance value, transmittance, reflectance, and band gap value based on UV-Vis test. Graphene oxide used in this study is made from biomass waste coconut shell charcoal which contains carbon elements, most of whose pores are still covered by hydrocarbons and other organic compounds and the charcoal is used as activated carbon through an activation process, then synthesized using the modified hummers method. In this study, three variations were used, namely 20%: 80%; 30%; 70%; 40%: The results show that the effect of Fe3O4-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite Composition on coconut shell waste using a UV-Vis spectrometer, the absorbance value of each sample was obtained in the range of 200-290 nm.. In the results of gap energy research with 3 variations respectively 3.269 eV, 3.79 eV, 3.91 eV obtained that if the variation of graphene oxide is higher than the value of the energy gap produced is smaller, so the addition of graphene oxide from coconut shell waste has the effect of reducing the energy gap of graphene oxide.
