Abstract

Composite is a combination of two or more materials that have different basic properties. This study aims to analyze the effect of woven angle on hair fiber composites on tensile and bending strength. The composite is composed of polyester resin and human hair waste. Hair was soaked in 5% NaOH solution for 1 hour and woven with angle orientation 0°/90°, 15°/105°, 30°/120° and 45°/135°. The process of making composites is made by the Compression Molding method for 24 hours. After making the composite, a density test was carried out with the ASTM C271 standard, tensile test with ASTM D3039 standard and bending test with the ISO 178 standard. The results of the density test obtained an increase in the density value with the lowest density value of 0.82 g/ml and the highest 0.85 g/ ml to produce a lighter composite. Then the tensile test results show the highest tensile strength value of 16.47 MPa which occurs at an angle of 0°/90°. The results of the bending test obtained an increase in bending strength with the highest bending strength value of 47.1 MPa which occurred at an angle of 0°/90°.

Abstract

The very limited availability of energy on this planet is one of the main problems that concerns almost all countries. The presence of emergency energy indicates that energy usage is very high. Therefore, encouraging the use of new and sustainable energy sources is of utmost importance. Biomass energy can be the answer to overcoming the limitations of decreasing fossil assets, especially through the production of charcoal briquettes. Biomass energy is derived from plants or easily traceable natural materials that are abundant, such as wood waste, rice husks, bagasse, and coconut shells. Coconut shells, for example, can be a primary ingredient for making charcoal briquettes, using tapioca flour or starch as an adhesive. The briquettes can be produced using pressure variations of 50 kg/cm², 60 kg/cm², and 70 kg/cm², with a drying temperature of 100°C for 3 hours. The recommended ratio for making charcoal briquettes is 3 parts coconut shell to 1 parts tapioca flour adhesive. The purpose of this study is to compare the briquettes produced with coconut shell and tapioca flour adhesive to the SNI Briquette standard No.1/6235/2000. For the conducted tests, the results were as follows: the water content was 6.06%, the ash content was 5.9695%, the carbon content was 43.5946%, and the calorific value was 34,182.6808 calories. Additionally, the substance score yield was 26.845%, and the combustion rate was 0.12179 g/minute.
