Abstract

Nanoparticles are materials that are currently widely used in research due to their novelty and the growing number of suitable applications. Silica nanoparticles can be produced by synthesizing using several methods such as melting, coprecipitation, sol-gel, and ultrasonication. The aim of this study is to determine the most appropriate synthesis method for the production of SiO₂ nanoparticles to optimize the quality of physical properties of fast-growing wood. The synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles used in this study utilized three different methods: acid isolation method (F1), sol-gel method (F2), and reflux method (F3). Characterization of SiO2-NPs was performed using particle size analyzer (PSA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of PSA analysis showed that the acid isolation method produced the smallest SiO2 particle size compared to the sol-gel and reflux methods. The zeta pontential value in each method shows that the particles produced are unstable because the potential zeta value produced is around -10 mV to -30 mV. The results of FTIR and XRD analysis show that the synthesized material is a SiO₂ compound with a cristobalite phase. Application of the material on jabon wood through impregnation showed an improvement in physical properties, including an increase in WPG, density, and BE, especially in the sol-gel method (F2).

Abstract

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) and Sengon (Falcataria moluccana) were fast-growing wood species widely planted in the community forest. Both kinds of wood have low durability even though they can potentially be used in the carpentry material industry. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the vacuum-pressure impregnation effect using monoethylene glycol (C2H6O2) or MEG and silica dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles on wood resistance to fungal decay. The results showed that impregnation treatment with MEG and SiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the durability of Jabon and Sengon against fungal attacks. Furthermore, MEGSiO2 with 24-hour polymerization had a better impact on durability compared to both the control and MEGSiO2 with 12-hour polymerization. The 24-hour polymerization using 1% SiO2 nanoparticles resulted in the lowest weight loss for Jabon (5.86% ) and Sengon (5.21%). In addition, the variation of SiO2 nanoparticle concentration did not significantly affect the weight loss and durability of Jabon and Sengon against fungal decay.
