Abstract

Natural fiber can be used as a substitute for environmentally friendly composite materials. Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) is one of the natural fibers processed by the palm oil industry which is available in large quantities. The use of OPEFB fiber as an innovative fiberboard has not been studied much physically. The addition of fluorescence additives gives wood and fiberboard products the advantage of having a high aesthetic value. The aim of this study was to fabricate an innovative fiberboard biocomposite based on OPEFB fiber with the addition of phosphor fluorescence. Fiberboard is fabricated by hand lay-up and cold compaction methods. The main composition of the fiberboard consists of OPEFB fiber, epoxy resin, and 5 g of phosphorus powder. The fiber content of OPEFB varies from 76% to 86%. The results of physical testing showed that the fiberboard density ranged from 0.34 -0.59 g/cm³ and its water absorption capacity was 105.22 -156.475%. The specific heat capacity value of fiberboard ranges from 0.34 -2.2 J/g ̊C and its thermal conductivity is 0.001-0.002 W/mK. Meanwhile, the bending strength is 1.30 –6.42 MPa which is relatively comparable to bio-composite fiberboard. The addition of phosphorus affects the thermal properties of fiberboard, so it is suitable for application as a bio-insulator with fluorescence features.

Abstract

Termites are commonly seen as a nuisance due to their capacity to cause harm to wooden objects. The occurrence of termite infestations on furniture has led to a rise in financial damages attributed to such attacks. Hence, it is of utmost need to seek alternative raw materials that exhibit resistance to termite-induced deterioration, thereby fulfilling the requirement for substituting particle board. The present study has successfully demonstrated the fabrication of particle board by including bintaro fruit seed filler and urea formaldehyde matrix. The primary objective of this research endeavor was to explore an alternate approach to standard particle board production, specifically focusing on the development of anti-termite qualities. The filler fraction to matrix fraction comparison exhibits variations of 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, and 80:20. The particle board production process employed in this study utilizes a cold pressing method, wherein a pressure of 15 MPa is applied for a duration of 120 minutes. The board particles that have been acquired are subjected to testing in order to ascertain their physical characteristics, such as density and water content. The experiment was conducted in compliance with the SNI Standard 03-2105-2006. The flexural strength of particle board was evaluated in accordance with the standard SNI 03-2105-2006. An assessment was conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of particle board to termite infestation, in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the SNI 01-7207-2006 standards. The density and moisture content testing findings conducted on particle board match with the specifications outlined in the SNI 03-2105-2006 standard. The experimental outcomes evaluating the susceptibility of board particles to termite infestations have effectively fulfilled the requirements outlined in the SNI 01-7207-2006 standards.

Abstract

The low electronic conductivity of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathodes presents a major challenge for their application in lithium-ion batteries. This research aims to enhance the electrochemical performance of LFP by comparing the effects of three different conductive additives: Graphene Oxide (GO), reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO), and a Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP) composite. GO was synthesized from graphite powder via a modified Hummers’ method, followed by the fabrication of three cathode variations. Material characterization was performed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). XRD analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of GO, evidenced by the shift of the main diffraction peak from 26.24° in graphite to 9.80° in GO. Band gap (Eg) analysis from UV-DRS data showed that the addition of rGO and the AgNP effectively reduced the Eg value to 2.91 Ev and 2.73 Ev, respectively, from the initial value of 3.10 Ev for the LFP+GO sample. Electrochemical tests indicated that the LFP+rGO cathode exhibited the most significant current response, achieving the highest specific capacitance of 5.0 F/g at a scan rate of 5 Mv/s. These results confirm that rGO is the most effective additive among the three variations for enhancing the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4 cathodes.
