Abstract

Research of the determination of molecular weight and degree of polymerization α-cellulose from seagegrass (Imperata cylindrica) by viscosity method had been done. To obtain the      α-cellulose, it was done using delignification process. Furthermore, the α-cellulose was characterized by infra red spectrum (FTIR) testing by compared with the infra red spectrum of α-cellulose standard. The α-cellulose viscosity was measured by using Ostwald viscometer and measurement of molecular weight and degree of polymerization based on Mark-Kuhn-Houwink equation. The results showed that the molecular weight and degree of polymerization of the α-cellulose from seagegrass (Imperata cylindrica) were 8.242,7g/mol and 45,8, respectively with the percentage of seagegrass α-cellulose was 45%. Keywords: seagegrass (Imperata cylindrica), viscosity intrinsic, molecular weight, degree of polymerization

Abstract

Fabrication of biodegraded composite from polypropylene, polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride, and chempedak seed (Artocarpus integer) starch has been conducted. The stages were prepared starch of Cempedak seed, grafting process of maleic anhydride on polypropylene, and fabrication of composite with a composition ratio of PP: PP-g-MA: starch of chempedak seed (9.5:0.5:0.1)g, (9.5:0.5:0.2)g, (9.5:0.5:0.3)g, (9.5:0.5:0.4)g, (9.5:0.5:0.5) g, and PP: starch of chempedak seed (10:2)g. The composites obtained were characterized using tensile strength and elongation testing, surface morphology analysis by SEM, analysis in nature with the ability to decompose by biodegradable test, and functional groups analysis by FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that the biodegradable composites have the best properties in the ratio of PP: PP-g-MA: starch of chempedak seed (9.5:0.5:0.1)g with the test results of tensile strength was 28.743 N/m2, and also the SEM results show that flat surface and improved homogeneity, and strong group interactions as well as having good biodegradable properties.

Abstract

The characterization of biodegradable composite from durian seed starch that is mixed polypropylene, and polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride has been done. The stages of this preparation were, the first had prepared durian seed starch, the second had the process of grafting maleic anhydride into polypropylene and the third had made of composite with the composition of PP:PP-g-MA: DSS (7:0.5:0.2); (7:0.5:0.3); (7:0.5:0.4); (7:0.5:0.5); (7:0.5:0.6) (w/w). The biodegradable composites obtained were characterized by tensile strength, surface morphology analysis by SEM, differential thermal analysis (DTA), analysis in nature with the ability to decompose biodegradable test, and functional groups analysis by FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that the biodegradable composites have the best properties in the ratio of PP:PP-g-MA: DSS was (7:0.5:0.5) (w/w) with the test results of tensile stress is 12.556 N/m2, and the elongation is 8.600%, the images on a few flat surfaces and improved homogeneity, temperature change, and strong group interactions as well as having good biodegradable properties.
