Abstract

One solution is to use bioplastics, which can replace synthetic plastics that are difficult to decompose. Starch is one of the materials used in the manufacture of bioplastics because it is naturally degradable. However, bioplastics made from starch tend to be brittle and easily damaged, so additional materials are needed to overcome this problem. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the materials used in the manufacture of bioplastics because it has properties that can be degraded naturally, is non-toxic, and is able to form good quality plastic films. This study aims to examine the effect of PVA concentration and stirring time on the mechanical properties of biodegradable plastic derived from kepok banana peels. This study used a completely randomized design with three variations of PVA concentration (3%, 4%, and 5%) and three variations of stirring time (25 minutes, 35 minutes, and 45 minutes). The results showed that at a PVA concentration of 5% with a stirring time of 45 minutes, bioplastics showed the best quality with a tensile strength value of 2.25 MPa, the best elongation at break was 416%, and the best elasticity was 0.541. In biodegradation, all samples were completely degraded within 7 days. It can be included that the addition of PVA concentration and the length of stirring effecth the mechanical properties of bioplastics but not on the biodegradation test.

Abstract

Reality Therapy And Patience Concept In Physical Distancing Students At Astri Aulia Hostel. Covid-19 is a highly contagious disease that can shake an individual's psychological well-being. One way to break the chain of distribution is to live a clean lifestyle, wash hands, use masks and build physical distancing to stay at home and do all the activities in the house. Physical distancing, of course, will cause anxiety factors, because it narrows individual activities in the house, so this is where patience is needed to accept such needs. The research focuses on reality therapy and the concept of patience in carrying out physical distancing of female students at the Astri Aulia Yogyakarta dormitory. This research is a field research using qualitative descriptive methods. Data collection techniques are done by observation, interview and documentation. The results of the study are reality therapy and the concept of patience is able to have an impact on the client and in terms of religion, reality therapy is able to preserve patience in the lives of individuals to build physical distancing.
