Abstract

The aim of this research is to obtain the effect of chitosan addition on the properties of biodegradation and water uptake for bioplastics. Bioplastic is made from mixing corncob powder and chitosan using by gliserol as plasticizer. Bioplastic is synthesized for gelatinization temperature of 80oC. Chitosan addition is varied to 2, 4, and 6 g. Based on the analysis, the addition of chitosan can significantly decrease water uptake of bioplastic. The lowest percentage of water uptake was 8.59 % by addition 6 gr chitosan. The highest weight loss percentage of bioplastic was 88,42 % which is obtained by the addition of 2 gr chitosan heaped for 15 days in soil. This indicates that the bioplastic has the high biodegradation properties.  Also, the result of FTIR analysis indicated presence of O-H and N-H groups of bioplastics due to the addition of chitosan and glyserol, but their instensity experienced falling down and shifting at the wave numbers after stockpiled.

Abstract

Bioplastic was synthesized from starch as a result of the extract from Kepok banana peel and added with cellulose as the result of isolation of sawdust as a filler. Bioplastic mixture is added with glycerol as a plasticizer. Making bioplastics was done by the sol-gel method at a temperature of 90 oC for 1 hour from forming the sol to a bioplastic gel. Cellulose filler material varied from 0, 2, 4, and 6% w / v. The results of biodegradation testing show that bioplastics with the addition of cellulose have a higher rate of degradation than bioplastics without cellulose. Bioplastics with the highest degradation rates were obtained at cellulose addition of 2% w / v which reached degradation up to 100% for 15 days of burial. The phenomenon of bioplastic degradation is evidenced by the results of FTIR characterization which shows that bioplastic samples with cellulose additions have decreased very sharply at several peak absorption after burial. This also occurs in bioplastics without cellulose, but the decrease in peak absorption intensity is no more significant than bioplastics with cellulose addition.
