Abstract

Human necessities for good material to support daily activity are growing up, especially eco-friendly material.  Applications such as decoration, interior, until the furniture increased along with the population growth. Sago (Metroxylon sp) as one of the plants and also as one of the staple food in Maluku, this plant thrives in Maluku. To be processed into sago that is ready to eat required the process of extraction of sago tree (Metroxylon sp) trunk that leaves waste sago pith (fiber). In this research the utilization of waste fiber sago pith in use as composite amplifier with matrix is sago starch. Research using natural ingredients as composite maker, is expected to get composite that have good impact strength and good water absorption rate. The composites were made using hand lay up method with variation of volume fraction of sago pith fiber is 30% and 50% with NaOH solution and aquades in alkaline process with percentage comparison of 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% for 120 minutes immersion time. The results of this study found the best impact strength on the composite with a variation of fiber volume of 50% with alkaline process 9% with the highest value on the energy absorbed composite 6,9303 (J) with impact strength 0.0693 (J/mm2). The best water absorption rate is at 8.67% occurring on a 50% fiber fraction variation with a percentage of 9% NaOH alkali process.

Abstract

Kenari (Canarium indicum L) belongs to the Burseraceae family and is one of the endemic fruits in Indonesia, especially Maluku. Walnuts have a tough shell that encloses the flesh, to get the flesh without damaging it careful effort is needed. This study investigated the strength of walnut shells through mechanical testing to determine the amount of impact force needed to break the walnut shell. The mechanical test carried out is a compression test and impact test. The values of these tests assist in determining, measuring, and analyzing the minimum and maximum force loads required to crack a walnut shell. Tests were carried out on walnut shells from 6 different villages on Ambon Island and Saparua Island. The impact test where the highest impact absorption energy value was found in walnut shells from Booi Village, namely 23.18 J/mm2, and the lowest in walnut shells from Morela Village, 22.40 J/mm2. In the compression test where the lowest value was found in walnut shells from Morela village with a value of 3.61 MPa while the highest value was found in walnut shells from Booi village, namely 5.24 MPa. Whereas the minimum compressive force is 16.22 kgf/mm2 and the maximum compressive force is 17.61 kgf/mm2.
